She would be very exotic in Africa, India, Europe or China, because she wouldn't pass among those people. But she wouldn't stand out in Turkey or Azerbaijan at all.

yes but what i meant was that she is a little darker than me . a little more exotic feature wise too .

What do you mean? I have seen Turks and Kurds who are darker than that girl. She doesn't look exotic among the Turks or Anatolian Kurds. I have seen many Kurds (mostly Anatolian) or Turks like her. She does look a little bit more Turkic than Kurdish though..

This video was filmed during a warm period. And it is in Cyprus. Most likely she is lighter than in the video. Most likely she is a little bit darker or tanned from the hot summer sun.

guti so what is your answer to this thread ? which ethnicity of the 2 do i resemble more ? :)
Turkic Cypriots are a little bit shifted toward the mainland. It seems they are their own thing.

Turkic Cypriots are a little bit shifted toward the mainland. Here are Dodecad K12b results. Kurds (and Turks) are genetically closer to the Georgians than to the Cypriots. It seems they are their own thing.

I think you look closer to the Caucasus (Georgia and Azerbaijan) than to Cyprus.

Like 70% Caucasus vs. 30% Cyprus


ok thanks but i would liked to look at this topic without having pca plots in mind lol

also with an unbiased mind :)

Tbh the pictures you choosed give the impression they all look the same but I know that cypriots in general have more levantine types while georgians look more proper west asian so I'll go with georgian.

Bro cypriots are basically hellenized lebanese :

there is more distance between me and an algerian or central moroccan than between a cypriot and lebanese.

Cypriots are still much closer to greeks from every part of greece than lebanese muslims, christians and druze are.

haha come on, a few % isn't going to make them any different with such logic I have no ethnicity since even my cousin is probably different. Anyway they look like lebanese and are closer to them than greeks. I think you might confuse cypriots with cretans.
