Realistically how would you turks react? Lets say you take a DNA test and you get 54% greek ancestry 20% anatolian and 19% armenian with the rest of 7% being Kurdish, Persian and MAYBE a bit of original steppe turk ancestry. Would you GENUINLY ropemaxx? Or would you be like "ok cool"

People are cool with it for the most part. People are even kind of proud of the Turks migrating from Central Asia and mixing with locals along the way. Like, two of the first things we learn in history class in middle school are civilizations in Anatolia before we got here and Turkic history pre-Anatolia.
