Finnish people and you who have been to Finland look here?

Do you think people from Turkey, Greece, Armenia, Iran, Iraq all look similar to each other ?

  • I noticed that people in a region all have a similar look i call it the Familiar 5 where 5 countries look similar to each other like Turkey, Greece, Armenia, Iran, Iraq all look similar to each other since they're close to each other and people in Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Austria look similar people in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Estonia look similar do you agree with my familiar 5 theory? Do you often get mistaken for one of the countries in your familiar 5 block?

  • Answer:

    Yes sorta, because they were once one nation under the Ottoman Empire, maybe many of them interbred during that time which was like 700 years I think

LOL what Greece has to do with these Asian countries? I could say people from Iran and Iraq look similar. But Armenians and Greeks are just Armenians and Greeks. Dont mention the Turks..

No I don't think that we are similar to Greeks, Armenians and the rest of your "familiar 5"!

None of your lists look like each other - you must be uneducated and unworldly to think they do!

No. Greeks have lighter hair than Turks, Armenians, Iraqis, and iranians. Italians are NOT very blonde, like the rest of their group.

I've watched some video clips of Turkish artists in youtube and most of them don't look like Greeks. Some of them, though, do. The same you can say with the others that you've mentioned. Armenians are much darker than Greeks, but they are one of the most beautiful folk, in my opinion. I've met some Armenian women in Greece (and men) and they are the most gorgeours people I've ever seen. Of course it is a personal opinion. About what Blunt said, it is true. There isn't a scientific proof of a secret school and THAT'S WHY SCHOOL BOOK DON'T MENTION the secret school. It is believed to be a rumor that was spread by the Orthodox church. in order to stabilise their role as educators and leaders of Greek nation, which is in fact very much true (they were indeed educators). BUT...It is also true that the Orthodox church had a good relationship with the Sultan. On the other hand it is true that many Patriarchs were killed with very cruel ways, as Ottoman Rule was never liberal (to no one) and OF COURSE the Christians payed 14 times more taxes and undergone some humiliations/discriminations, I mean it was clear to them that they were 'slaves', a lower kind of ...subjects. There were also a time that Ottomans practised extended islamizations, but we mustn't judge them with the nowadays mentality. The fact is that Christians lived for ages under the Ottomans, with one way or another, and even if something 'bad' happened, it is lost in the time and could someone say that it happened in another era. IN THE CONTRARY, you can't say the same thing about what happened in 20th century and this is something that Turkish people must understand, in my opinion.

I don't think so I'm a blonde Anatolian greek (only half Greek) and I look nothing like my turkish gf she has brown hair and blue eyes and pale skin while I have blonde hair green eyes and olive skin, and I do not agree that the scandinavians look a like (also half Norwiegian) because the fins look like blonde asians and the Swedish are similar to the norwiegans but tend to be more round. I could go on and on but I won't overall I disagree through generalizations that I formed similar to what you did by posting this question.
