How common would you say this phenotype is for Turkey?

I am talking about the man in the foreground, of course.

Is he somehow exotic? To me he looks Turkmen, or something...

Yes, a bit exotic. I also get some Caucasian vibe from him but picture is not that clear tough. Maybe he is from northeastern Anatolia, i am not sure.

He looks Southern Turkish. They have more Arabid types. His eyes are closed, otherwise there's nothing Turanid about him.

His faceshape looks flat to me...it's not only eyes..and his jaw bones are prominent ..

Well he has that "hawk" face, if you know what I mean

I have associated this look with central Asia, rather than Arabia...

I can imagine his profile picture ..

Flat occipitum and hooked nose. The difference between him and an armenoid though, is that he has a roundish big head (brachycephalic) whereas armenoids tend to be on the dolichocephalic (and long faced) side. Also the skin colour, very off for an armenoid, much more befitting to Central Asia.
