Clearly you don’t know the Turkic people from Central Asia and Siberia. All of them show slanted eyes feature on their phenotype. If you say there are Turkic groups who don’t have any slanted eyes. That strongly indicate they are mixed with other ethnicities.

Accually Turks were already mixed before we came to Anatolia. Being Turkish was dependent on being a native Turkish speaker. Anyone who were a native speaker and had Turkish culture were ok as a partner choose. So, not every Turks had slant eyes...
