Are Turks an actual ethnic group or what?

[Odelia]

I believe that Turkey is a melting pot of many ethnic groups (both ancient and modern alike). That's why Turks look so diverse. I wouldn't say they have on single look. They really don't. Most Turks today are a mix of Caucasian (including Armenian & Georgian), Greek, Kurdish, Iranian, Central Asian, Levantine and as well as some Baltic & Slavic. Let's just say that the Ottomans got around! There is no such thing as a Turkish ethnicity, just same way there is no such thing as an American or Argentinian ethnicity. And I don't care how controversial this assertion is. Sure, some Turks are purely Anatolian, but they're relatively a small group. Turkey has become a multiethnic society, but people just come in here and whitewash or brownwash them too much. You can't do that to an multiethnic state you fools.

Every ethnic group has some degree of diversity. Although most of your statements are correct, I wouldn’t agree if you say Turkish people are not an ethnic group. We are an ethnic group with a high autosomal diversity.

Nope, extremely diverse, also multi-racial.

First of all, you should know that Turkey is in the middle of the world. Whether we are talking about the appearance of man from a scientific or religious point of view. Whether, according to science, man appeared in Africa but spread all over the globe in the Middle East. Either man appeared from the beginning in the Middle East and also spread there on earth.
Therefore, we can see that different continents have different phenotypes, and the most popular phenotypes are: mongoloid, negroid and caucasoid.
So, it is easier to understand Turkey, which is almost in the middle of it all. Secondly, Turkey is a big country. With an area that included several small ancient empires, in one.
And as in the middle of the world everything happens, just as in an urban city, there are those who live on the outskirts and those who are near kilometer 0 (or around it), we can understand that from the first day of the world, in Turkey have there were several phenotypes and a continuous flow of mass migration, even a battle. There was the center where everyone met and fought. There you went from Europe to Asia. And we can even include the Caucasus as a second entry into Europe. Africa was also not far away.
You can't talk about isolating a population right in the middle of the planet, if you want isolation, you're wrong, my friend.
Isolation can be found on the islands, or on the outskirts of the city. But if you're in the center, you don't have time for racism. Here the strongest resists. Here you do not have time to think about racism because you have more important things to do. And since all the peoples of the world met here (because they also left here), it is clear that when they met they mixed, more important being physical attraction and love, than racism. Religion and spirit, than racism.
As if you want to know about the ethnicity of the Turks today, you have to calm down. Throughout this they have built a country, they have a strong spirit and a very strong nationalist feeling. They have become slightly different from the rest of the world's ethnic groups, forming a unique group that shares the same common DNA, but still accepts and tolerates other "races" in their country, without saying at the border of Turkey: You are not allowed to enter. in Turkey because you are of another race. Or: You are not allowed to get married in Turkey.
Here, people's principles are different and mentalities are different. People are convinced that they all come from the same God and from the same parents: Adam and Eve. And the scientists realize much better that all humans come from the same 2 ancestors who broke away from the monkey. Isolation is not really possible here. It was the middle of the world and will remain until the Apocalypse.
Scientists are also beginning to believe that blue eyes have appeared around the Black Sea. So don't be surprised. You just don't have time here. Haydeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, haydeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Why not? Some ethnic groups (Hungarians) are even more diverse...
