It is very obvious that this man is from the Caucasus. The mountains on the background. But can you guess his ethnicity?

He is a Circassian. This is an average 'Caucasus' phenotype among the Adygeya/Circassians in Adygea. He doesn't look exotic at all. He looks very Caucasian. He could pass in Kurdistan as a native without any issue.
There are many Circassians in Turkey. I think you can pass very well among them, without issues. Just google: 'Circassians + Turkey'.
Not sure about me, though. I look more like my father. I think that I do look more 'Northern West Iranic' shifted than Hurrian/Caucasian. I think I do pass much better in the eastern and southern parts of the Caucasus, like Dagestan, as a native. My mother and some of my siblings pass everywhere in the Caucasus, north, west, east and south..
