Main types among these Turks?

[placebo]

inspired by avicenna's lebanese thread :D video from istanbul that's why probably not all of them are turkish some of them maybe kurd, arab, bosnian, albanian etc. (guys in 2:00 and 4:00 most likely kurdish because diyarbakır and mardin is kurdish majority city)

The usual West Asian, Southern European & Central Asian mix.

Meds (Pontid, East Med, Cappadocian), Anatolids, Alpinids and Turanids.

I will make similar thread about the Hungarians.

the guy in 1:07 and the kurdish dude in 2:00 look like different from the others a bit imo +the guy in 4:14 he looks very turanid influenced

clearly turkish looking face. pontid + alpine + turanid (maybe + some anatolid because we only see half of his face)

All of them mentioned a Western country or Japan.

Only one (ironically the most Turkic looking one) said a non-Western country and "Muslim" country : Iran

I was surprised none said a Turkic country, not even Azerbaijan

we viewed azerbaijan as brother and as ours and for azeris thinks the same about turkey. it’s more than “country do you love most”. i think that’s why nobody mentioned azerbijan cuz nobody thinks azerbaijan is different country.

What do you think of Iranians and kurds?

kurds in turkey is part of our people and about iranians i feel closer to them than any other populations in mena except azeris/kurds. there are some iranian influence in our culture and language, this is an undeniable fact. it started from central asia.

btw that doesn't mean i find kurds especially iranians (especially after revolution) find similar to us. even kurds in southeast culturally still quite different than west (i'm not talking about kurds in the west), i have friends from southeast turkey in my university and they have minor culture shock.

azeris are most similar to us.

Agreed, coz to me, a turkish kurd is as Turkish as a Welsh or Scottish in the US is a typical white American (since the original stock was Irish and English). Kurdish turks a secondary group after native anatolians and turkic types but still a representative group under the Turkish peoples umbrella (not Turkic peoples mind you). Would i be wrong?

yeah somewhat agree.

and there some kurdified turkmens or turkmen (i mean turkish not turkmenistani) + kurd mixes in southeast turkey. even some fully kurds have genetically minor turkish-like admixture for example hadouken. (that doesn't mean they are not kurdish they are still in kurdish genetic cluster)
