the video from the Diyarbakir province i posted lately got deleted unfortunately

so here is a new thread but this time Hakkari province

the number of gypsies should be low because if i am not wrong Hakkari is one of the provinces with less than others . i could be wrong about this though

anyway analyze them please

focus especially on the second video from 4:24 + and also focus especially on the third video because you can see the crowds and the faces pretty well . i think i will take screenshots later of them and put them in the Kurdish gallery

also watch them in full screen modus please to see them better






one more video ! and you can see the faces even better here

Mountain people types, Capadoccians, Asiatic Dinarids, Dinarids, Armenoids, Asiatic alpines, with some Caucasid/Caucasus types and Gracile Pontid meds, Iranid types and a few that look kinda Slavic admix or something.

well none of these people will be mixed with slavic :)

i also think that many people in the videos are mosty likely 100% Kurdish and dont have even minor other ethnic admix . however some will be gypsies and gypsy mixed too . cant avoid that

Yes. From the looks of it, not just from his word but from what I see there, indeed.

but that you should have already seen long before because i posted already thousands of Kurds before this thread . but you actually already did say what you said here already before in the other Kurdish threads too

Man, I don't think it matters much to me, Europe, Middle East, West Asia and the Caucasus, form a continuum. A lot of those West Eurasians could move from one region to another without a lot of problems. Language, clothing styles, religion... they create barriers. Think about it, why do bigots hate certain ethnic groups? Say the Jews. Because they can pass, and the line that separates those ethnic groups is rather fuzzy. The man who doesn't want to be mentioned is atypical, but there are loads of atypical people in every population blurring the lines of separation.

lot of beautiful faces and kurdish music is really fun to listen to. I never get bored of it. the swag in the dances too. looks like a more relaxed version of dabke lol

anyways in terms of classification, i didnt see many pure anatolids actually. I think many look like iranid + AA combo with heavy med like influence mostly.

thanks for your kind words my friend

i do think there are many mediterranids in the videos . because mediterranid is a very common phenotype in Kurds (despite the myth that it isnt ). and i think there are also some Med + Armenid mixes (Anatolid) in the videos too however you are right that the Armenoid part / amount is less in these videos than in Kurds from more northern provinces . Armenoid and Anatolid are more common in provinces like Tunceli , Malatya , Kars , Erzurum etc

by the way Pontid is already not an uncommon type in Kurds . and it is also often mixed with other types . for example Pontid + Iranid = VERY Kurdish phenotype combination . and it is common in all Kurdish provinces

but phenotypes aside . i think when looking at them you can see that we have been darkwashed and misportrayed in anthroforums for a long time right ? ;)

right pontid. Thats the term I was looking for lol. Apologize, I often forget several classification terms in the europe/west asian region. But yeah the combo of that plus iranid seems to be the most common in the videos. The third one especially where there are plenty of folks around with a clear view.

and yes I agree, there are a few that looked more 'southern' shifted/ southern middle eastern type but vast majority like 90-95% look typical for northwest asians.

or let me phrase it simply in a anthrotard way

we are WAY "whiter" than we are thought as or given "credit" for . we are one of the most darkwashed people . along with people like italians , turks , albanians . period :D

lol yeah i agree. I understood what you meant. they don't look anything close to gypsoids or pseudo arab or something. I'm not sure about europe, but in the US/canada, most of these folks would be seen as latinos or southern euro. by latino I mean the more caucasoid shifted latinos. close enough to white but with some spice obviously.
