i don't say you define or represent them as turk for example arda turan is not turkish he's albanian but many people thought he's turkish
or engin altan düzyatan people classify him as turanid lol
my point is "european" albanians and others doesn't out of place in turkey then how can they are different race?

Not saying it's false but that would be like an iranian or indian who keeps highlighting how his language is related to european languages and part of the indo-european family. I think you get what I mean.
Also you talked about genetic distances only because if we go by uniparentals or autosomal then it's clearly not all of NWAs.

he doesn't strike as albanian to me. if i didn't know about his ethnicity i'd guess as balkan turk (some claim he's turk from macedonia) because of his eye shape.
looks + genetic together NWA win hands down .
i already proved this many times . wont bother to debate this again

in apricity also few albanian users said he doesn't look albanian exactly before.
another example is birkan sokullu . he is bosniak but can easily be turkish . in fact he looks more turk than bosniak imo

I disagree based on my experience I've seen lots of turks/armenians and honestly you have more overlap with europe among levantines than them. I've been to lebanese restaurant many times and honestly sometimes it felt like I was among italians lol and also I've seen many who look strangely NW european. Meanwhile turks are more homogeneous and look distinct to both european and levantines and armenians have a lot of very "exotic" types similar to iranians and in general overlap with turks.
Autosomally, NW africans have way more european ancestry than 3/4 of NWA only western anatolia seems to have more.
just lol nassbean ....think what you want what can i say
