Question about Turkey
Why in Turkey there are many Caucasian looking people? I've seen many Turkish people with blonde hair and some of them have blue eyes, I know a guy from Corum, he has yellow eyes. Is it very common in your country?

Not actually.So many immigrant people immigrated to Turkey then they married other people.On the other hand Turkish people don’t have to look like black hair,black eyes.Our gene involved other culture.If there is no one caucasian peoole,their own past involved other gene :)

I do not think it's a surprising thing. For example, my relatives from my mother are very blond. Blue eyes, white skin and blond hair. The Turks are very diverse, but of course the overall look is brown hair and brown eyes.

Well in every country you will find people of which you will think they do not look suitable to the country 😅
Turkey is a multinational country.
We do have ancestors from everywhere.

Because of fucking russians while genociding caucassians only Ottoman Empire accepted them as a refugee but times passed and now we are legally a citizen of Turkish Republic. Im writing this as a chechen but not all of us have blonde hair and yellow eyes because we married with Turks

Let's look to the history...
we like to interact with other races, especially with who has colored eyes😂.
So; we complaisant or be tolerant of to other nations. And of course being empire in history cause some sort of things, this is one of them. We ruled so many nations in so many places so we got something of them and we gave something to them.
I guess you understand me 😉😂😎 Huge gen pool.

Actually we are turkish ancestors blond and colorful eyed people. But after we went through the process, we were always in a relationship with the Arabs. That's why we have not been able to protect our property. But still turkish is a common gene.

@mellllllllllll All the people in the world are hybrids. We know how old human history is. It's hard to know what you used to be. No one is pure blood turkish or any other race.🤔

There are 3 climates in Turkey. So the people can be different from the others because of the different climates. North and west of turkey generally is blonde,blue eyes. But east and south of turkey generally is brown hair, brown eyes. These differences are due to the different climates and geography. There are too many types of people in turkey.
