Asia is a continent not a race. They are not mongoloid. Middle Easterns, pakistan, kashmir, smelly india have nothing genetically in common with yellow people like korean, chinese, japanese, thai people. And oriental men are not masculine or have much testerone

Once you go out of your country's borders, you are just a guest.
As a Bangladeshi person, people in here assume that Turkish people are European. I can say is Turkish people are too European to Eastern people's eyes and too Asian to western people's eyes. So I guess Turkish people might be confused about which continent they are from.
Turkey has lands in both Asia and Europe. They founded and lived in states from Central Asia to Europe and from Europe to Anatolia. Genetic diversity is quite high.
The last guy has it backwards. You don't enter the EU and then get better conditions, you make your working conditions better and then you get to enter the EU.
That’s how it was supposed to work
Turkey was never going to be allowed entry because its a muslim majority nation. It had better conditions then basically all the balkan nations that are in EU now when they were allowed entry, so much so they used to emigrate to Turkey for work. As things are going now Turkey will never be allowed also because EU uses it as a trashcan for refugees. Anyone who argues otherwise is either stupid or a hypocrite.

@@musfikinsan3423hhhhh east turcey what they are brother 😂
Müslümanız hocam. O bize yeter.
ne mutlu bana bu coğrafyanın insanıyım
well the turkic cultures are asian in origin
Mongol*
Not the Balkan parts of Türkiye
Just like the Finnish, hungarian and celtic cultures that are “asian” in origin. They all come from Asia. and the Spanish culture had been under Arab rule for more than 800 years. Yet all these cultures are fully european.
@@keptins celtic cultures are indo european...i didnt make any statement on turkish people being asian or european i just pointed out the fact that the culture comes from there. you could argue by genetics or geography or history but in the end its essentially completely arbitrary.
@@StaminatorBlader no anatolian celts lived in anatolia for hundreds of years. Persians and indians are also indo.european.
Im from the uk. The turks are alright man.
The 3rd person in the video is winning in life! ❤
I can say ım both bc ım half Turkish half Czech
What?
Bro said he’s an earth guy gotta respect that 😂
We are both. some Asian some European but Antalya is Russian 😊
Ахахах реально 😂
I always see Turkish and Hungary as part of Asia. Due to Ghengis Khan
Yeah he is our ancestor too
@@Kutahyali4343 He isnt our Ancestor. Our Ancestors are the Turkmen tribes which conquered and settled down in Anatolia and mixed with the local people there. So we are genetically Eurasian and also Culturally. Our Language is purely of Asian(Turkic) Origin of course.
@@okanisiert I know that the Turkic tribes who conquered Anatolia are our ancestors. But they are not our only ancestors. Cengiz Han considered himself as a Turk, so, if we like him or not he is our ancestor because he was a Turk
@@Kutahyali4343atalarımız anadoluya göçtükten sonra Anadolu halkıyla karışmıştır melez evlilikler melez çocukları doğurmuştur ve böylece bizler bugün yerli Anadolulularla Türklerin bir karışımı olarak var olmuşuz
Yani açıkçası tarihten özellikle antik tarihten bahsederken sanki tek atalarımız tek köklerimiz orta asyadaymış gibi lanse etmek çok doğru bir yaklaşım değil orta Asya’da ne kadar köklerimiz varsa onun çok daha fazlası olarak anadoluda köklerimiz ve atalarımız var
Özetle Hunlar’la olan bağlantımız anadoluda bulunan antik medeniyetlerle (Hitit İyonya Urartu Lidya gibi) olan bağlantımızdan daha fazla değildir hatta belki daha az bile olabilir
Anadolulu köklerimizi yok saymamız doğru bir yaklaşım değil
@@meltem65 Kıpçaklar ve Oğuz boyu karışmıştır sen sanıyorsunki sadece Oğuz boyu karışmış ama iki soyda karıştı ve ayrıca çekik değil hafif çekik göz baskındır Türk toplumlarında eski Çin kaynaklarında Oğuz boyu için yapılan tasviri araştirabilirsin. Ayrıca safkanlık olması için kabile halinde diğer toplumlardan ayrışmış gibi yaşamamız gerekirdi.
I am Turk i consider my self as Asian .Not everyone who is a Turkish citizen is a Turk
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.
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.
@@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
Turks originate from what is now western mongolia, in asia, where nearly all other turks are located from yakutia to azeris
I'm not asking this hostilely or I'm not blaming you, but I've heard that China has committed genocide against the Uyghur Turks in East Turkestan and is constantly building concentration camps and assimilation to the Uyghur Turks.what do you know about it or what will you say?
And yet they are left alone just like russians. Russians also thought that they were smarter than others, and way more superior than others by trying to sit on both chairs simultanesously. And what? They are aliens everywhere in both Asia and Europe, nobody considers them fully as close friend. Do you think it is a good thing?
You know what? They're both. Some can be mostly or entirely Asian, and others can be Europeans. Though Turkey is rather more Asian due to its obvious history and the origins of a high percentage of its people that lie in Central and Southwest Asia. And even the natives of the old land of Turkey, called Anatolia, are considered Asians despite some being blonde and Italian-looking or living the "European way". It's all about geology. Turkey is under the Black and Caspian Seas among Middle Easterns and Iranians, which is considered Asian.
Yes i live in left side of istanbul i'm european
the first guy 😀♥
Same as asking if us brasilians feel more like North Americans or Latino Americans, I guess. We are neather of them.
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. My father's great-grandfather came to Istanbul from Eastern Anatolia during the Ottoman period (around the 1880s) so all my relatives have been in Istanbul for almost two centuries. 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. And we live in the most strategic place in the world: right in the middle of Europe and Asia... Thank you to the great Ottoman Empire for this complicated situation, lol.
Global citizen ....He be like i won't go deeper and spitted this😂
Eurasian
We mostly call ourselves as Anatolian or Rumelian.
Turkiye is in the Middle, Anatolia is like a continet with only one country in it
All are valid answers for the most part.
Yet the correct answer is:
All three...
European, Asian, and World Citizen.
