      Well you still are. If you were 100% turk you would look like kazakhs or kirgiz people. What do you think the dna of turks from turkey is made of ? You do realise that before turks came to the region there were armenians living in that area who turks assimilated through religion

      I think these posts are always super interesting. And it’s hard to decide exactly what they mean. Personally, when I see this, I think of you as instantly Armenian, but I know the truth is more complicated.

      My experience reading these is always one of melancholy, seeing the scar tissues from when our nation was ripped out of Anatolia, and all of the loss, and confusion, and trauma that it brought.

      I guess even I could have some turcic blood cause I cant imagine how many generations were mixed on the west. So yeah, no surprise 🙂

      Your a crypto Armenian most likely meaning you ancestors were Armenian but during the genocide your ancestors converted to islam and learned Turkish to assimilate into Turkish society

      Here’s a question with this revelation, do your feelings change in regards to the genocide and geo politics of the region ?

      I am Turkish and I almost got the same result in my dna test 😅 actually it seems that I have a Kurdish Armenian and Turkic admixture with a sip of Caucasus like Georgian, I actually took the test after acknowledge Armenian genoc1de and wandered if I had some Armenian dna in me, I think Turkish should embrace all their other roots, at the end we are a little bit like mestizo in South America, a mix of the indegenous people of these land and the invader, I wonder how Armenian or Kurdish community will react if we try to come back to these roots, like to learn Armenian or Kurdish or Assyrian ? I would love to embrace this part of my heritage but it’s an assimilate part so it doesn’t feel right, idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Had a chuckle that the post was called “thought I was a turk my while life” only for the first words of the top comment be “well you still are.”
