    DNA-Ergebnisse als Türke aus Nordostanatolien


    Wie genau ist MyHeritage? Niemand in meiner Familie kennt armenische Vorfahren.

      I don’t think my heritage is viewed as one of the more accurate ones, but in any case this wouldn’t be surprising considering the millennia long presence that Armenians have had in the region.

      I am not sure what people are taught in Turkiye, but it is indeed a multi-ethnic nation that has been a melting pot for centuries. It is also not surprising that Turkish nationals would be tight lipped about any knowledge of Armenian ancestry considering the tumultuous history between Turkic and Armenian people.

      How are you feeling about this?

      Babe these aren’t Armenian “ancestors”. These are Armenian grandparents. Over fifty percent is at least one parent.

      You are Armenian dude. Sorry, hit the lotto this time. Have a drink and a smoke, and start reading pal. DM me if you like.

      I hope it’s not too much to take in for you and your familly. It’s gonna be messy if you want to dig in deeper but I hope you also learn good things with the bad things.

      upload your results to illustrative DNA (its like 20 euros or something)

      In any case it looks like you have some serious amount of Armenian ancestry.

      Try to connect with Armenian culture! Especially Western Armenian. Most of it is lost after 1915 but the survivors managed to keep a lot of their culture and traditions.

      sounds like someone has been hiding the truth from u, time to learn about ur arnenian and georgian heritage pal

      Honestly as a Turk, I think it’s accurate since the results turned out the same for most people. Even myself I get asked if I’m Armenian cuz of my looks, and I’m sure if I do the DNA, I might get that too. Also I genuinely think that we Turks and Armenians should reconcile soon, even though I’d get hated for saying that.

      You have two options: ignorance or go deeper.

      For the first one, ignore it. It might be better for you. If you want to remain a Turk or whatever, keep the DNA results far away from you. You can tell yourself „omg, how interesting,“ but don’t look further into it and live your life.

      But if you choose to go deeper… then you won’t like what you see. You won’t like the truth that your entire country, nation, population, and government were hiding from you.
      You won’t like what the truth behind the identity of Turks and Turkey is based on.
      And the deeper you go, the harder it is.

      It is up to you which path to choose.

      Stealing kids for your janissaries, women for your harems what did you expect. Only 10% of modern day turks have central asian turkish dna

      It’s accurate. You either ignore or realize that at least half of your family is Armenian. Becuase of the higher percentage it would indicate grandparents or one full parent. Adoption is also a possibility though it would be a tough question to bring up.

      I’d say dig deeper into your heritage. A lot of near extinct cultures reemerge when assimilated peoples start to relearn their heritage. Look at the Cornish in England for example. Practically wiped out, but going through a resurgence in the past few decades – not a big one, but still noteworthy enough that it even led to efforts to bring their extinct brythonic language back too.

      You can still consider yourself a turk in terms of nationality, but armenian-anatolian in terms of heritage.

      Look at dna matches, specifically, request Autocluster report. That shows clusters of dna matches, and each cluster (square shape) is a distinct branch of your family. If there are a bunch of Armenian names in clusters (say, at least 5 or 6 clusters with mostly Armenian surnames), then you’re definitely part Armenian. If most of them are Turkish dna clusters in the report, then the ethnicity estimate is off. DNA matches (especially autoclusters) is proof of your ethnicity, not the ethnicity estimate itself.

      I thought I was full Armenian until I saw a bunch of pure Europeans in my autocluster report (Balts, Slavs, Germans and Scandinavians), so it turns out my Armenian dad probably cheated with a Russian woman of most likely German descent based on where I was born. He matches me, so I’m clear he’s my dad. But if it weren’t for autoclusters, I wouldn’t have known, because ethnicity estimate gives me 48% Armenian and the rest part Turkish, part Italian, part East European, part Albanian, and part Balkan. Chatgpt explains that Russians of German descent lived in Russia for centuries, so the algorithm has a hard time telling this group apart accurately, especially when it’s mixed with West Asian.

      You should learn about the culture, language, and maybe visit one day! That’s how intergenerational wounds heal.

      Kelkit-kose armenian villages mostly converted to islam between 1500-1700 and became turkified along with many of the armenian villages of Bayburt.

      How Turks realize that they are mixed Armenian Greek Kurds and still hate on these populations is beyond me.
