Are Armenians closer to Kurds or to Turks?

[Padre Organtino]

OK Dude, Whatever floats your boat. But strictly disagree that Turks are less exotic. Only the ones who are not of Turkic Origin. The Turanid proper is a mix of Iranic Tribes and Mongoloid People while Kurds are truly western asian.

Turks don't have much East Asian input and they have actually very few proper Turanids.

Edit: Im not against Turks or anyone for that matter.

What does this mean?

Don't forget though that Kurds have a greater influence from South Asia that is in similar amount to the Mongoloid that Turks have.

From 23andMe i have other opinion. They do have East Asian Admixture, and Kurds are truly western asian while turks score higher on east asian.

High is what? 5-6%? Turks are closer to Armenians on genetic distance plots than Kurds and that is reflected well in their looks.

Most Turks have East Asian Admixture but Kurds have Southasian, so its a loose loose situation.

I didnt say High, but Higher than Kurds. Turks are probably more european, but Kurds are more Caucasoid

[Bloodraven]

Turks are probably more european, but Kurds are more Caucasoid

That statement doesn't make sense. At all.

The term 'Caucasoid' is usually applied to everyone who's not Australoid, Mongoloid or Negroid. Turks have more non-Caucasoid admixture than Kurds but their affinity to Europe is also bigger (more Northern/Western Euro and Med admixture).
