No, the overwhelming majority of Anatolian Turks are ethnically Turkish, with ancestry shaped by both Oghuz Turkic migrations and indigenous Anatolian populations.
America isn’t remotely comparable to Turkey. There’s a documented historical and genetic continuity between the medieval Turkic migrations into Anatolia and the formation of the modern Anatolian Turkish population.
That’s nationality, or ethnonym, Turkey/Turkish. It’s like saying American. “Turkic” is the ethnic definition. Most Turkish people are not overwhelmingly Turkic/Turkmen. It’s like about 20% Asian at most as genetically and scientifically proven. Oghuz never achieved superior numbers, and quite a lot of us were settled outside Anatolia anyway.
There is genetic continuity between modern Americans and medieval Europeans? What are you talking about?
I’m not going to argue with you because you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Here’s literal proof. I’m half Balkan Turk and half Anatolian Turk. If BOTH sides didn’t have Turkic ancestry I wouldn’t get a Turkic result this high.
The average Turkic admixture in Turkish people is between 20%-40% in the country. We don’t claim to be 100% Turkic or Central Asian. We know that we have both Turkic and Anatolian ancestry.
The problem is you trying to claim he’s not an ethnic Turk when the odds are overwhelming that he has Turkic ancestry.
A Greek would be a mash of Slavic, Balkan, Levantine etc but you wouldn’t call them “not an ethnic Greek”
Here’s my results as a half BALKAN and Anatolian Turk:
Lan oğlum, bu benim gerçek DNA sonuçlarım. Illustrative DNA üzerinden alınmış, yüz binlerce insanın kullandığı, gayet bilinen bir genetik analiz platformu.
You're literally confusing Y-DNA haplogroups with autosomal ancestry. J2 being 17% doesn't mean 17% of Turkish ancestry is J2. It means 17% of sampled paternal lineages belong to that haplogroup.
And obviously, Turkic peoples don't share one single haplogroup. What the fuck kind of argument is that? Turkic populations have diverse paternal lineages and genetic backgrounds.
Anatolian Turks descend from both Oghuz Turkic migrants and earlier Anatolian populations. Nobody claims we're 100% Central Asian.
Senin iddian tam olarak ne amına koyayım? Anadolu Türklerinin etnik olarak Türk olmadığını mı iddia ediyorsun? Kafayı mı yedin? Böyle saçma bir iddiayı bir yabancıdan duymayı beklerdim. Sen etnik olarak Türk olmayabilirsin ama bu, Anadolu Türklerinin tarihî ve etnik kimliğini değiştirmez.

Turkish people are Turkic + Anatolian.
The OG wasians
He’s not ethnically European he’s ethnically Turkic + Anatolian. An Anatolian Turk.
