Greek-Turkish differences.

[Mygdon]

But which one is looking like you, the doctor or the guy with white t-shirt? The one with white t-shirt has classic mediterranean type of look, like Italians, Greeks and others. The doctor more looks like Macedonians, Balkanic type or maybe Blacksea side, like Georgians.

Macedonians are actually largely mediterranean.

[Mygdon]

and in general it is possible to differ pretty well between turks and greeks, you guys are not serious this time.

[Giorikas]

Greeks just have to accept they got mixed with us.

I just showed the pic of Spanoulis to my friend and he thought Spanoulis was Turkish.

Its really hard to see the difference between Greeks and Turks.

Have you ever been East of Turkey ? Compare Turks to Greeks, then to Azeri's, Kazachs, Uzbeks, Turkmens and you will have your answer right there. It is obvious that present day Turks are the ones that changed the most (though everyone changes unless there is zero contact with other cultures and peoples)

[Ottoman]

Have you ever compared the ancient Greeks to present day Greeks?

[Makedonetz]

Have you ever compared the ancient Greeks to present day Greeks?

There was no acient greek and present greek, its like comparing an orange to a tangerine.

Look Greeks

All Azeris except the ones with partly Iranian heritage are quite similar with us, both culturally and the way they look. Azerbaijan`s Eurovision 2009 competitors are good example for that. Here is Aysel and Arash. Both are Azerbaijan citizens but Arash has Iranian roots unlike Aysel and she looks quite similar as a girl from central Anatolia, Turkey. But the guy looks more like the Kurds in Turkey, not like the Turks;




You know there are about 6-7 million Kurds in the eastern Anatolia and ofc they don't look like us but rather they look like Iranians. Kazakhs, Uzbeks and others are partly mixed with mongols for 750 years and we live far away from them for 1000 years, so it`s quite normal that they don't look like us.




Also it`s quite same in Greece even tough you are geographically much closer to each other then the Turks are. Have you ever been Cyprus or other islands? Do you think Pontian Greeks or recently Hellenized Aegean Macedonians looks similar with Cypriots?

[Ottoman]

Well Azeris are also Turkic so its normal they look like us but you're right, the ones with Iranian elements look like Kurds.

Look at the Eurovision 2010 competitor from Azerbaijan. This girl is like a sister of 2009 one, Aysel;
