As for stpier's obsession with his/her looks ... if you think some untraveled peasant of Thailand was paying you a compliment, then you are seriously having an identity crisis.
Without doubt. the Turkish "nation" does have remnants of the Greeks they stole for their looks and breeding. DNA testing can help them trace their past. A long-ago Turkish friend of mine (two actually) did confide in me they felt more Greek. They looked it too. It turns out there are a few Turks whose family histories suggest they were like some of these Gypsy children, taken from their real families and brought up in a strange Turkish/Roma culture. But what seems to have happened over time is that these people were/are more attracted to their own kind and so we see the development of genetic stratification/sections within the Turkish community. The more European-looking types, who tend to be the peace activists and intellectuals, and then you have the more Romany-looking types who are mentally slow and tend to politically run the country.
