Actually, before this, we need to look at what Asian and European mean. As a Turk, we are both Asian and European, in fact we may be the only nation in this position. We lived in Europe for centuries as Asian origins and changed it. Today, we also have a very unique culture and in fact, this is Anatolian culture. Thousands of years ago, the Greeks also officially had Asian culture, they had nothing to do with today's Europe, they lived in Mora and Anatolia and were completely Asian. Today, if you ask, they say we are European.

[@MyNameIsOzymandias]

My father, mother and I were born and raised in the European side of Istanbul. My maternal grandfather's roots are from Bulgaria, and my paternal grandmother's roots are from Romania.

I have white skin with brown hair and eyes... Kinda mixed, right? I think that's why Turkish people are depressed, we don't feel white/European or Asian. Our genes are diverse and rich.

As a chinese citizen i would like to say, after careful consideration, turkey is not an asian country judging by looks and the fact they are borderline European like russia.

[@esatacikgoz2016]

Careful consideration? In reality the most correct statement is that some Turks are more Asian and some are more European. We have genetics from both sides so there is a lot of diversity. For example, even though I am Turkish I have Asian-looking “pulled” eyes as we call them in Turkish. My friends would joke around and call me Chinese because of this, and in reality I probably do have a lot of Chinese blood. And If not Chinese, at least Kazak or Mongol or soemthing like that. So the fact that we border Europe means nothing. Turks in the modern day are an incredible mixture of Asian and European genes so depending on which side powers through in different people, different characteristics come to play. And also just to add, our culture is way more Asian than European. Our cuisine, our religion, everything.

[@foxylady5]

​@@esatacikgoz2016yeah we're just eurasian and our culture kinda changes based on our family, like if you have a family in western side its more likely that you have an european culture. and its the opposite with the eastern side. for example in the western side there are more people who eats on a "long legged table" but in the eastern side most of the people eat on the floor with a small table
