Turanid. Actually Circassians have some Turanid elements, but there some who apparently have distant Uralic ancestry like in my case, but the Uralic probably came via the Russians. The Turanid seems to be some of the reminants left over by the Kipchaks. Most of my paternal side look typical Caucasus folks and some can pass in the Balkans and some honestly look like they came directly from the Urals.
