No, DNA tests aren't banned in Turkey. Misinformation spreading on social media can't be stopped, because people believe what they want to believe.

Paul Antonopoulos ( @oulosP ), who is an exposed Stormfront member and a well-known extremist, seems to be trying to defame our project. Apparently, he is also "bureau chief" for Greek City Times.

It shouldn't be difficult, even for the likes of you, to realize that the reaction was caused by the wording chosen by AncestryDNA. The Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) is described as genocide in the descriptions, which is intolerable from our perspective as anyone can predict.

Hey @TurkDNAProject ! You guys want to get in touch with your roots, why not visit a Greek Orthodox Church? Just say when, and I'll be happy show you around one! Sending this with love from your cousin Robert:

Correction: "3000 exomes+WGS" from TURKISH CITIZENS with different ethnic and regional backgrounds. Presenting the entire dataset as ethnic Turks and drawing conclusions is an act that befits Razib. The study covers most (if not all) ethnic groups in Turkey.

East Eurasian (occasionally referred to as East Asian) admixture in ethnic Turks of Turkey • Not to be confused with Central Asian admixture. The medieval Turkic samples from Central Asia have a mixed ancestry of West Eurasian and East Eurasian. Data:

We are not boycotting DNA tests, we are boycotting a specific company ( @Ancestry ) for their updated descriptions, in which the historical events known as the Greco-Turkish War (1919-1922) is described as genocide.

AncestryDNA ( @Ancestry ) describes even the population exchange between Greece and Turkey as ethnic cleansing of Greeks, which explains Paul's efforts to defend the company.

Razib @razibkhan is known for trying to portray Turks as acculturated Armenians. This is not his first attempt. He has been repeating himself since 2010.

Almost everyone in Turkey and Azerbaijan (Kurd, Turk, Laz, Georgian, Alawite/Nusayri, Zaza, Azerbaijani etc.) descends mostly from Armenians according to his awesome supervised admixture analysis.

When modern Turkmens are used instead of medieval Karluk samples to represent the medieval Oghuz, the fit values get even better, which might be explained with extra Iranian admixture.

A good chunk of these samples represent non-Turkish (Kurdish, Zaza, Laz, Georgian, Pomak, Alawite, Bosnian, Albanian, Romani etc.) ethnic groups. There are even samples with unknown regional origins (labeled as TR-U). To present them collectively as "Turks" is to mislead people.

The Ottoman-era Turks (AD 1300–1650) used in the qpAdm model genetically resemble present-day west Anatolian Turks and can be modelled as a mixture between West Asian and Central Asian populations.

Western and central Anatolian Turks can perfectly be modeled as a mixture of Anatolians (Byzantine and modern Anatolian Greeks) and medieval Karluks from Central Asia. The unsampled medieval Central Asia Oghuz are represented by their sampled eastern neighbours, the Karluks.

Razib's terrible supervised ADMIXTURE analysis suggests that modern Turks have little to no ancestry from Anatolia (west of the Euphrates) where their ethnogenesis took place within the first centuries of the 2nd milennium CE. Is this really the case?

For example, the individuals who cluster with Levantines are labeled as TR-S (South) and differ from ethnic Turks of the same region. These are very likely Turkish citizens of Alawite origin.

According to the paper's PCA and ADMIXTURE graphs: • The core of Hungarian Conquerors are roughly 40% East Eurasian (represented by Nganasan+Han). • The core of both Huns and Avars are predominantly East Eurasian.
