It really depends from the perspective of the observer. Some people mostly focuses on genetics and DNA and according to them, you would be more Turkish considering that your DNA is 5-7% Turkish. On the other hand, some people mostly focuses on ethno-cultural elements and according to them, I would be more Turkish.

It depends.

If you are a Fenerbahce fan and Aruncaz is not, that makes you more Turkish to me.

Someone with a Christian foreign name would never be assimilated in Turkey, he would be considered a foreigner even if his family was living in Turkey for generations.

She didn't assimilate, just because she appears on TV does not mean she's considered Turkish, that's what i'm trying to say.
