Turkey=35% Dinaricized Mediterraneans ( Greek colonists), 20%
Mediterraneans ( Aegean coast, greek colonists), 25% Irano-Afghans (
eastern Turkey, Kurds ), 20% Turanids ( original semi-oriental
Turkics, inhabits continental parts of central Anatolia one of them
being region around Konya ) = 35% D.M. / 25% I.A. / 20% Med. / 20% T.

Kurds represent today between 15-25% of Turkey's population (depending
on who is counting). Armenians were exterminated, err deported en
masse in 1915 and later, with a similar fate befalling Greeks later,
during the 1922 ethnic cleansing and the 1955 pogroms.
The guy in the site below, where the quote comes from, has a pretty
extensive bibliograpohy. I to agree with Yog-Sothoh though. What
matters is culture,langiuage and religion. Whatever their ancestors
may have been is now irrelevant .They are Turks today and that is what
matters in the end.
