Could I look Like An Armenian?

[memobekes]

Hi everyone, i'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
I'm a Kurd from Eastern Turkey (Tunceli or Dersim as it is known in my mother tongue Zazaki). Historically, as with other Eastern Anatolian provinces, there was a very big Armenian population living in Dersim. For example the name of my village is called "Paş" in Zazaki but for some reason it has no meaning in our language so perhaps it could be of Armenian origin.

Quite often people think I look Armenian for some reason. I have attached some images of me. What do you think? Do I look Armenian? Personally speaking I wouldn't be too surprised if I had some Armenian blood in me. I respect your history, culture and traditions. Regards.

yes i'm kurdish and i don't think i look like a turk either.
(excuse my ignorance) but i didn't quite understand what you
meant by "ur browns also are armenian type". and when you say "harsh"
what do you mean by that? thanks.

It's hard to tell but you definitely do not look like a typical Kurd or Turk, especially your skin colour. It's a fact a lot of people in Turkey have Greek/Armenian blood (Greek especially in the West and Armenian in the East). I know Armenians who look like you.

Is my skin colour really that different?
I reckon that I look more Armenian than Turkish.
Would you agree?

Quite honestly, what DOES a Turk look like? The Central Asian features are almost extinct in Turkey. Turks look like Arabs, Armenians, Assyrians, Greeks, Kurds etc.
