Lol, Most Turkish people ethnically descend from the Greeks, only 10% of Turkey is “ethnically Turkish” but most of us Turkish people are not aware of that fact at all because of the extreme nationalism here. I’m Turkish but my ancestors were probably from Caucasia.
Weird I never heard that before. Surely most people are mixed then, right? It makes sense, because of how hard it would be to travel during the 10th-18th centuries, that there would be more of a cultural shift and political/resource control, with moderate migration to the new territory, rather than like a full genocide until the 20th century when the Christian Greek-speaking ethnic Greeks were mostly expelled and murdered
Yeah, it’s mixed of course, it would be more accurate to say that most Turkish people are mostly Greek.
And you’re right, the reason is because those Greeks were culturally assimilated over time.
