Turks are not Arabs or Mongols.

In my previous posts, I have written about Turkey and its history. The following is a 6 minutes video I would like to share with you. It will help to know the Turks better.

Turks are often mistaken for Middle Eastern and Arab; these two groups have nothing in common but Islam. Otherwise, they couldn't be more different. The Turks ethnically range from Caucasian to Asian to Black. Yes, there are black Turks.
