Question on Native Anatolians

[German66]

I have noticed that a lot of Turks claim to be "Pure Anatolian" by race & culture. can you guys tell me who were the true Anatolians? I know they are most likely Turkified. according to ancient maps of Anatolia the hitties/Lycia/etruscan/Caria were mostly inhabitating the reigon.. how many Armenians consider them selfs Anatolians by blood?

Re: Question on Native Anatolians

that whole thing is anatolia.

German... whoever you are, yes, we share common genes with many Turks precisely because of the Anatolian stock prevalent in a large portion of their population (and to a much lesser extent, from central asian genes which managed to find themselves in the Armenian gene pool).
