Great empires are a mixture of all races and colors. Just like todays USA. Unfortunately some less glorious countries will never have such diversity.

I see skopje was included too. Ask your parents, most likely you have a turkish ancestor, be proud of it.

Turkish people look like Turkish people and Arabs look like Arabs.Nothing in between!!!! However there is no such thing as european look cause they're like pina colada "very mixed up" totally different skin tones,hair and eye colours.Don't you think that there is a huge difference between a Danish and an Italian and or french?so your question doesn't make sense.You are failed.Next time be more creative when asking such retarted questions.

I am a Turk and firstly I belive it is important to understand that Turks are ethnically neither Europeans, nor Arabs. The Turks originate from Central Asia and therefore cannot be considered European nor Arab. However, throughout the course of time, particulary during the Ottoman era, many Turks have mingled in with other societies that were under Ottoman rule, for instance with the Arabs and Greeks, and it is because of this integration that nowadays you cannot find any Turkish citizen that actually looks like his/her original ancestors. Now, the answer to your question is rather simple. Nowadays you could find many Turks who look European, as well as many Turks who look Arab, and even Persian for that matter. But overall, I believe that the percentage of Turks looking Arab is a lot greater than the percentage of Turks who physically look European, and the explanation to this is also rather simple. The Arabs are Muslims and therefore during the Ottoman era a majority of the Turks mingled in with the Arabs and many marriages took place between both sides, particularly with the Syrians, Egyptians and Saudis.

As I've mentioned before, it is important to note the fact that Turks have never been, are not, and will never be Europeans. The Turks also have never been Arabs as well, but they are a lot closer to Arabs than they are to Europeans due to the many similarities between their religion, traditions, lifestyle, etc. In fact, even geologically only around 3% of modern day Turkey is actually within European territory, the rest of the 97% of land is known as ''Asia Minor'' and lies within the Middle East.

Young lady you sure like the attention people give you here.

All of your questions get many answers and many people (myself included right now) are spending way too much time and brain cells to answer the questions of someone who we should not even care about to notice

My answer to your question from now one is:

My daughter had a turkish exchange student and my neighbor is Turkish. The exchange student to me looked a little indian(india) and my neighbor looks pretty European. I don't think they look very middle Eastern, perhaps a little, but just seeing them, I wouldn't be sure where they are from.
