Is Turkey a land of immigrants?

Their phenotypes look they are from all over the world. I have a sense that Turkey is actually a land of immigrants where Muslim people from all around Europe, Asia and Northern Africa migrated there in historical times.

No, its wrong. We are very homogeneous.

Yes, it has one of widest range of looks coming from central-Asia, Caucasus, Middle-East, Europe especially Balkans and Anatolia logically.

I just made a thread like this. It's not just a land of immigrants. Turkish is a mixed race ethnicity. And some Turks get mad when people say this!

It's not our faults that YOUR Ottoman empire GOT AROUND! There is barely a such thing as a Turkish-Turk. Most Anatolian Turks are admixed. Most Turkish people have Kurdish, Armenian, Georgian, Chechen, Greek, Levantine, Circassian, Baltic, Azeri, Turkmen central Asian and other West Asian/Semitic stock in them.....!!! And honestly, this ethnic diversity is beautiful!

These admixes can be seen here:

Dark, white, in the middle, Mongloid...all are Turkish! Just like American euromutts! You're dumb if you say there is only one Turkish look, and one is more Turkish looking than the other! Though that said, a very Arab looking type or Mongoloid type is not typical Turkish!
