do you feel anything for armenia/armenians or you just care about being an ethnic jew ? Some years ago I used to think I was a full blown arab then it completely changed after some readings and dna results lol
armenians are foreigners to me just like any other non-jewish ethnic group . I was born and raised in a family in which the fundamental basis of our everyday lives was built on the jewish identity and the same is true for other georgian jews as well. georgian jews are very obedient diaspora.

@Nassbean do your parents still believe that they are full blown arabs or did you tell them that Moroccans aren't arabs.
my mother is berber (yes I was an idiot I know) and my father thinks he's arab but strangely when I told him about my results he said "yes I know that ultimately we're from here" but in general arabized north africans think they are arabs not really much different from proper arabs.

yeah I am not religious but I was raised religious and my family members especially my maternal grandparents are still very religious.
why aren't you religious ? You seem to suffer a lot internally going back to religion might help you

Actually my grandparents are more religious now than they have ever been. a single day doesn't pass without my grandpa reading torah and praying. my grandma also reads tehillim regularly and she also reads chapters from torah on saturdays.

I unfortunately don't know much about your ancestors but honestly your phenotype reflects some eastern influence and since you're from turkey I made a logical deduction. would you be disappointed if you end up with let's say 10-20% east asian/central asian ? (be honest pls)

I should also start reading it seriously (I already started kabbalah and my mind was blown) + you have that whole thing with the prds interpretation system you could spend your whole life reading the torah and still finding new stuff about it.
