will try to classify phenotype later

i will rather place him for now :

in my opinion he looks northern west asian . can pass as lebanese , jewish , iranian , cypriot , jewish

would also pass as less typical in parts of southern europe

Looks like a mix armenid + iranid

He looks very west asian to me so I'd say either turk, armenian, azeri, iranian, kurd. Btw I have the same jacket as him in the second picture

Aren’t his lips too thin for being Iranian or Middle Eastern? It seems to me that Iranian’s features are less fine. He reminds me of Penelope Cruz features. She’s from Spain, though. Any possibilities that he could be trom there?

There is something 'Semitic' about him.

Iranian Jew or Kurdish Jew. Doesn't look like a Georgian Jew to me (and I have seen a lot of them).

Could also be an Azeri/Turkic, though..


PS. I will delete this post in a couple of days as I always do with the 'classification' posts.
Could you give some pictures of Iranian Jews, Kurdish Jews, Georgian Jews? What are the differences?

I am a new member and not an expert to be honest. I thought that guy looked Spanish or Italian. Anyway most people said Middle Eastern/Semitic. It would be nice and maybe more useful to see more photos (of males) if someone has. We should probably also decide which country of the said ones definitely do not pass.

And this are the Persian Jews.

They could look similar but they both have thicker lips and deeper eyes than him.
