From personal observance, Anatolian mixture is heavily influenced by the Albanian element, with obvious Caucasian traits. The Serbs and the Turks had agreements from 1938 and continuing until 1954 to dispatch Albanians from their homeland and establish them in Anatolia (not to mention the earlier Ottoman policies on this matter).

Turkish people are actually eastern Greeks and they do look like Greeks that mixed with the Armenians and in smaller degree Caucasians (Circassians) and Kurds.

As far as I know Turkish people don't look Kurdish. I mean they don't have that 'Iranic look' in them.

And in general they absolutely don't look like Arabs either.

Is Erdogan not of a Circassian/Caucasian origin? He's from the Black Sea area, isn't he?

So they're partly European (Greeks) and partly Armenian (Anatolian) - Caucasian with some Turkic elements from Central Asia!

But they don't look like their eastern neighbours Kurds.

So that's why I voted "MIXED".

I voted mixed as the least inaccurate of the choices you have made available. Turkey is at a cross roads and most Turks are Sunni Muslims meaning that they are more likely to marry other Sunni Muslims. This excludes Jews, Asians and to a large extent Europeans as only the coastal regions have a distinct European-like phenotype. The Armenians and Kurds in Turkey make up a large part of the genetic heritage of modern Turks but they do not fall in either of the above categories. The most accurate answer is Anatolian! The question you should be asking is what constituents make up Anatolian admixture.
