As a Bangladeshi person, people in here assume that Turkish people are European. I can say is Turkish people are too European to Eastern people's eyes and too Asian to western people's eyes. So I guess Turkish people might be confused about which continent they are from.
Turkey has lands in both Asia and Europe. They founded and lived in states from Central Asia to Europe and from Europe to Anatolia. Genetic diversity is quite high.
Turks aren't even Turkish. Most of them are European by blood.
Why do I say this?
Back in the days, Wallachia, Moldavia, and Transylvania (Romanian principalities) were forced to send children to be "educated" and then trained to serve as troops in the Ottoman Empire. The same happened to Serbia and Croatia. Not to forget Albania.
They don't even look like Arabs. The facial, physique, and height really brightens the fact that they're more European than Asian.
We arent define ourselves as Europeans and we see ourselves as fully Turk. Because we are Turkic. We are asian even if dont pure asian.

@@moonrabbit5107n Turkish those sounds were considered more barbaric during Ottoman times since it was connected to lower class/nomadic Turks.

Only about 4% of Turkey is in Europe, just FYI
As a chinese citizen i would like to say, after careful consideration, turkey is not an asian country judging by looks and the fact they are borderline European like russia.
Careful consideration? In reality the most correct statement is that some Turks are more Asian and some are more European. We have genetics from both sides so there is a lot of diversity. For example, even though I am Turkish I have Asian-looking “pulled” eyes as we call them in Turkish. My friends would joke around and call me Chinese because of this, and in reality I probably do have a lot of Chinese blood. And If not Chinese, at least Kazak or Mongol or soemthing like that. So the fact that we border Europe means nothing. Turks in the modern day are an incredible mixture of Asian and European genes so depending on which side powers through in different people, different characteristics come to play. And also just to add, our culture is way more Asian than European. Our cuisine, our religion, everything.
@@esatacikgoz2016yeah we're just eurasian and our culture kinda changes based on our family, like if you have a family in western side its more likely that you have an european culture. and its the opposite with the eastern side. for example in the western side there are more people who eats on a "long legged table" but in the eastern side most of the people eat on the floor with a small table
Turks originate from what is now western mongolia, in asia, where nearly all other turks are located from yakutia to azeris
I'm not asking this hostilely or I'm not blaming you, but I've heard that China has committed genocide against the Uyghur Turks in East Turkestan and is constantly building concentration camps and assimilation to the Uyghur Turks.what do you know about it or what will you say?
And yet they are left alone just like russians. Russians also thought that they were smarter than others, and way more superior than others by trying to sit on both chairs simultanesously. And what? They are aliens everywhere in both Asia and Europe, nobody considers them fully as close friend. Do you think it is a good thing?
Im literally Anatolian who came from Central Asia, that’s totally it. Turkish people are not European, our roots in Asia and we came and took the place from Europeans which we call modern Istanbul and Europe side
The origin of the Turks is from a country neighboring China called East Turkistan, meaning Asians mixed with Europeans, but the origin is Asian

@@ordafles5360😂 no
My father, mother and I were born and raised in the European side of Istanbul. My maternal grandfather's roots are from Bulgaria, and my paternal grandmother's roots are from Romania. My father's great-grandfather came to Istanbul from Eastern Anatolia during the Ottoman period (around the 1880s) so all my relatives have been in Istanbul for almost two centuries. I have white skin with brown hair and eyes... Kinda mixed, right? I think that's why Turkish people are depressed, we don't feel white/European or Asian. Our genes are diverse and rich. And we live in the most strategic place in the world: right in the middle of Europe and Asia... Thank you to the great Ottoman Empire for this complicated situation, lol.

Yeah, the continents are defined by the size of area and earth plates, according to that europe should also be in asia but different culture has made them different.
Actually, before this, we need to look at what Asian and European mean. As a Turk, we are both Asian and European, in fact we may be the only nation in this position. We lived in Europe for centuries as Asian origins and changed it. Today, we also have a very unique culture and in fact, this is Anatolian culture. Thousands of years ago, the Greeks also officially had Asian culture, they had nothing to do with today's Europe, they lived in Mora and Anatolia and were completely Asian. Today, if you ask, they say we are European.

Özetle Hunlar’la olan bağlantımız anadoluda bulunan antik medeniyetlerle (Hitit İyonya Urartu Lidya gibi) olan bağlantımızdan daha fazla değildir hatta belki daha az bile olabilir
Anadolulu köklerimizi yok saymamız doğru bir yaklaşım değil
@@meltem65 Kıpçaklar ve Oğuz boyu karışmıştır sen sanıyorsunki sadece Oğuz boyu karışmış ama iki soyda karıştı ve ayrıca çekik değil hafif çekik göz baskındır Türk toplumlarında eski Çin kaynaklarında Oğuz boyu için yapılan tasviri araştirabilirsin. Ayrıca safkanlık olması için kabile halinde diğer toplumlardan ayrışmış gibi yaşamamız gerekirdi.
I am turkish who feel neither Asian not European.I am mixed all civilizations one.Human.

@@MiddleEast-4Ever that is the most delusional thing I ever read. There is no Kurdistan EVER even before Ottomans. I love how you guys try to create a fake heritage story for your ideological bullshittery. Cope more and cry to your american overlords for a chance to become a nation.

As an turk, we cant say like directly that the we are european or asian . We are just both of them. I can say we are more asian in cultural way and we are more european the way we think . The reason for this may be our geographical location because one end of us is connected to Europe and one other end is connected to asia. Our lifestyle is similar to european individuals. Even though our culture is similar to asia and our way of life is similar to Europe, everyone in these lands is Turkish.
We are both. some Asian some European but Antalya is Russian 😊
Ахахах реально 😂
Eurasian
As a turkish i would say i am asian. I look asian and most of the country is in asia.

I am Turkish from Balkan so i see myself as a European Turk😃❤ 🇹🇷
@@Aiel-Necromancer yes i know so actually i am Balkan from the Background and not really turkish right ?
@@yasminchanny2135 brother, respectfully, shut up
It must be weird to be born in regions that are "transitions" between two diverse cultures, race, and/or geography.
The same thing is experienced by people who live in Siberia (Eastern Russia) where they're still considered Russian/European by nationality yet appearance-wise they look closer to East Asian.
And then there's also Australia where the northern-region population looks more Asian than the southern parts where you have the stereotypical "Steve Irwin" Australian.
In Turkish mind when you say Asia we think of East Asia, when you say Europe we think of West, North and Mediterranean Europe. Because rest of Europe and Asia is part of Greater Turkish empire aka Turan.
As a Turkic. ❤
I'm just busy looking at good-looks of the people.
Just look at our borders, there lies the answer, we don't really feel like Asians or Europeans. We simply feel well Turkish since Turkish culture really blurres the lines of both Asia and Europe.
if you consider bulgarians as europeans then i feel like european cuz i love stealing cars. if you consider greeks as europeans then i feel like european cuz im as brown as greeks
Nah bro you look like a European
😂
the age old question
Why do we need to feel European or Asian. There is actually a term Eurasian. Lets stick with that
This is very easy
If you looking at people's faces. you can understand Everyone Europen in Turkiye.
Greetings from Tabriz, South Azerbaijan, which is occupied by Iran, 50 million Turks have fallen in love with you.🇦🇿🇹🇷🇭🇺🇹🇲🇺🇿🇰🇿
The majority of Anatolians are genetically European. Today's Europeans have quite a bit of Anatolian farmer genes flowing through them, and historically, you originally spoke an Indo-European language.
I consider myself racially Anatolian with dominant Turkish genes. I see my culture a mixture of Mediterranean and Asian, I see my ideology in life as European, and I see European civilization closer to my life-style. This is the view of a Turkish guy who grew up in Istanbul's Asian side.
Eurasians. Like Russians and many other countries.
i have a strong feeling i know what direction the full video will go in
What is that
It's an old video.
I like someone who says he feels like a citizen of the world.. if all men were like this, there would be no wars and we would have a better world🙏🌹❤️
We are Eurasians 👍
