I calculated the % of ethnic Europeans in each European country, including the main ethnic groups in each country:

The next step will be calculating the % of Europeans in the whole world, but I will open a new thread about it later.

Here is the data for Europe, feel free to comment, countries and territories (dependencies) are sorted alphabetically:

Why are Greeks white but not Turks?

Because Greeks originate from the geographical area of Europe, while Turks originate from outside of Europe.

I also counted Tatars and Turkic groups (except for the Gagauz) and Caucasus ethnic groups as Non-European.

BTW, most Turks have significant Central Asian admixture which Greeks lack.

European Jews were counted as European because they have lived in Europe since Roman times.

I apologize in advance I'm nitpicking here. And thank you for sharing the interesting chart.
I feel like saying significant admix is a bit of an incorrect descriptor. Saying significant can mean different amounts to different readers. I'm probably guilty of using the descriptor myself so I'm also criticizing myself. It could mean 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% etc. to various people. And I'm also adamantly opposed to the one drop rule which could be applied to many scenarios.

Seems to be 5-20% admix from Central Asia
  1. Lazaridis et al. (2016) - Genomic insights into the origin of farming in the ancient Near East
    This study used ancient and modern DNA to analyze the genetic continuity and admixture in populations of the Near East and Anatolia. It highlights that modern Anatolians (including Turks) have a high proportion of ancestry from Neolithic farmers and a smaller contribution from later migrations, including Central Asian Turkic migrations.

    Key Findings: Central Asian contributions to modern Turks are relatively modest compared to the overwhelming contribution from pre-existing Anatolian populations.

  2. Hodoğlugil & Mahley (2012) - Turkish population structure and genetic ancestry
    This study analyzed Turkish genetic structure and compared it to neighboring populations. Using mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome markers, and autosomal DNA, the study identified Central Asian Turkic admixture in modern Turkish individuals as averaging around 10-15%, with significant regional variation.

    Key Findings: The Central Asian admixture is higher in Eastern Anatolia and lower in Western Anatolia.

    Source
  3. Cinnioğlu et al. (2004) - Y-chromosome analysis of the Turkish population
    This landmark study used Y-chromosome haplogroups to analyze paternal ancestry. The study found that only a small percentage of Y-chromosome lineages in modern Turks (~9-15%) originate from Central Asia, with the majority belonging to haplogroups common in the Near East, Europe, and the Caucasus.

    Key Findings: The Central Asian contribution is minor compared to local and regional influences.

    Source
  4. Xu et al. (2008) - Genetic evidence supports the contribution of Central Asian Turkic populations to Anatolia
    This study used genetic markers like STR (short tandem repeats) and SNPs to quantify Central Asian contributions to Anatolian populations. It estimated 6-15% Central Asian ancestry, depending on the population and region.

    Key Findings: The admixture reflects both historical migrations and linguistic shifts rather than a large-scale demographic replacement.

    Source
  5. Karatay et al. (2021) - Genome-wide studies on Turkish populations
    Using genome-wide SNP data, this study confirmed that Central Asian Turkic ancestry is 10-20% in modern Turks, depending on the population. It highlights that modern Turks are a genetic mosaic of Central Asian, Anatolian, Caucasian, and European components.

    Key Findings: Most modern Turks descend primarily from pre-Turkic Anatolian populations, with admixture events involving Turkic speakers from Central Asia.

    DOI
  6. Dienekes’ Genetic Blog (2010) - Analysis of Turkish genetic composition
    Dienekes Pontikos analyzed autosomal datasets, including ADMIXTURE runs, highlighting that Central Asian ancestry in Turks averages around 10-15%, consistent with other studies.

    Archived Blog Post

Summary of Sources:​

These studies consistently show that:

  • The Central Asian Turkic contribution to modern Turks is typically in the 5-20% range.
  • The majority of Turkish ancestry comes from indigenous Anatolian populations, Near Easterners, and European-related groups.
 
^^^
Yes but the majority of Turks have ca. 20% of Central Asian admixture.

Turks who have 5% are Trabzon Turks and maybe some Balkan Turks.
 
^^^
OK. But this map shows East Eurasian and not Central Asian. Central Asian admixture is higher because Central Asians are only partially East Eurasian, and when Turks invaded Anatolia it is highly unlikely that they were still fully East Eurasian at that time.

Yes, that‘s right but it would still be 0% Central Asian for Trabzon and nearby. Oguz Turks aka. Medieval Central Asian Turkic were about half East Eurasian, you just need to double the amount of East Eurasian to get Turkic Central Asian.

Btw, modern Nogai people are a good proxy for Central Asian Turkic admixture in Anatolian Turks.
 
Even without any central/east Asian admixture, Turks would be closer to Kurds, Iranians, Armenians, Syrians, Assyrians. Some Turks are closer to Greeks or Bulgarians but the majority belongs to the Middle East ethnically.
 
As for France:

In 2008 France was ca. 85% European (including 76% ethnic French). Since then this has fallen down to 80% (70%):

Is it true that France has only 40% White population?

Answer (1 of 18): Who… The ****… Told you this ? o.O He probably had a membership card for the National Front or he probably has a subscription for the newspapers Minute or Rivarol , because this is where you find this kind of discourse here in France , not in any serious newspaper or political ...

ChatGPT agrees that France is currently around 80% European. However, I did find one source indicating it is 75%:

Yes I agree, probably Turks from Western Anatolia are closer to Greeks, but others are closer to Middle Easterners.

Also it should be noted that the majority of Turks in Northern Cyprus now are immigrants from Anatolia, not locals.
 
Many Europeans have East Asian admixture. If Turks aren't white because of that then the Finns and Russians aren't either.

Besides the Turks have essentially the same ancestral components as other Europeans. All Europeans have Neolithic Anatolian Farmer ancestry. Greece South Italian and South Spaniards have about the same as modern Turks, and Sicilians and Maltese even have higher percentages than Turks as the Neolithic Anatolian admixture has been diluted more in Turkey over time.

In the Bronze Age the Indo-Europeans from the Pontic steppe first invaded Anatolia (the ancestors of the Hittites, Trojans, Lydians and Lycians). In the Late Bronze Age the Phrygians invaded Anatolia from the Balkans. During the Iron Age most of coastal Anatolia was settled by the Greeks. Then came the Galatians who settled around modern Ankara. The Romans obviously left some genetic traces too. It's pretty obvious on this map.

During the late Roman Empire the Goths settled in the Balkans and Anatolia.

During Byzantine and Ottoman times Slavs from southeast Europe also settled in Anatolia as this map shows.

Well, my main goal was to count ethnic groups and peoples who are native to the geographical continent of Europe, rather than "whites" (because the definition of "whites" is not entirely clear and some people include also some Non-European ethnic groups as "white"). Ancestors of Greeks, Russians and Finns have been living within the boundaries of Europe already for thousands of years, whereas Turks are generally native to Asia Minor rather than to Europe. I know that there are some exceptions to this rule, like for example Pontic Greeks and Balkan Turks, but still the Greek and Russian languages and ethnicities originated within Europe, while the Turkish language and ethnicity originated in Asia Minor (or even in Central Asia, depending on how we count the point of origin).

But yes, it is true that Turks generally have roughly the same ancestral components as Europeans.

I checked all of Global25 Turkish reference populations in my 10 Thousand Years Ago calculator:

10 Thousand Years Ago by Tomenable (Piotr Kapuscinski) - ExploreYourDNA Calculator

The goal of this calculator was to represent populations which existed in the world around 10,000 years ago (KYA).

The main differences are the Iranian, Caucasian and Levantine contributions that most Turks score.

Turks from Anatolia generally score at least >20% of Iranian, Caucasian and Levantine admixtures.

But as can be seen most Turks score largely Anatolian and Steppe components, just like Europeans.

However, they generally lack WHG (10KYA Europe) contribution, except for Balkan Turks who score it.
