Turks vs Cyprus who are genetically closer to the Greeks ?

[Laredo]

In terms of genetics , language, culture etc I don't know much of these too but based from appearance Cyprus are more European looking despite being more tan than Turks but I could be wrong.

Does anyone knows the European genetics of these two populations?

Even the Greeks themselves are not close to the Greeks. If you are looking for the closest community to the real ancient greeks, you can look at the albanians.

But I'm looking for an outside community out of Europe. For example even the most mutt Latin American Is closer to a Spaniard than a Moroccan or Saudi Arabian etc.

There's definitely Greek ancestry In both places being In a European community and Eurocentric myself I'm definitely interested to know the answers discussion and debates etc.

Greek Cypriots are a lot closer to Mainland Greeks in all aspects, language, culture & DNA than Turks.
Greeks are not more tanned than Turks. You are probably comparing Greeks from the islands which would naturally be a lot more exposed to the sun than Turks from Istanbul or Thrace with mostly Balkan or even Greek, Albanian Caucasus backgrounds.

Cyprus and lebanese people seem a bit closer to Greeks than Turks but the difference is not very big
