What percentage of Turkish population is of Anatolian Turkish origin? What is your estimation?

Turkish people like me might also not have Turkic input.

Because you're not ethnic Turk. You're Turkish by identity. Pretty sure he had ethnic Turks in mind. Because otherwise there are many people from Balkans (excluding Balkan Turks), Caucasus, Kurds and Arabs in Turkey devoid of Turkic ancestry.

Ethnic Anatolian Turks should be around 50-55% if you exclude mixed people. Their number can go up to 65% if you include mixed people.

Most ethnicities that mix with Anatolian Turks are Albanians, Bosniaks, Kurds and Circassians as far as I see. Balkan Turks and other minorities follow them. Least ethnicities should be Romani people and Afro-Turks.

Vast majority of Turks have varying degrees of Turkic ancestry. It's only northeast Turkey that lacks Turkic input.

I meant the whole Turkish population: people who identify themselves as Turkish and live in Turkey.

50 (anatolian turks)-50 (mixed with anatolian turks, caucasus-balkan turks, tatars, lazs, kurds, arabs, other caucasus people, other balkanites etc.) i think.

I am from northeast and must be Anatolian Turk? Or something like Anatolian-Caucasian. If that's what you mean. I am confused.

I mean being closer to Anatolian Turkish cluster than to any other cluster.

Perhaps a better question to ask is how Turkish are Anatolian Turks. Rather than how Anatolian they are. Since Kurds, Armenians and Greeks may count as native Anatolians, or they may not. And then there is the question of Balkan Turks who are also not Anatolian. Some people popularize Trojans as Anatolians, even though they may originally have origins from the Balkans (Dardanians/Thracians).

I try to mean what percentage of Turkish population is closer to Anatolian Turkish genetic cluster than any other cluster.

Being Turkish is more like an ethno-cultural phenomenon rather than an ethno-racial phenomenon, in my opinion. This is why I identify myself as Turkish.
