It's quite high compared to you Balkans since in Turkey there is strong Islamic legacy while Balkan Muslims are oppressed(same thing applies for ex Soviet Turkic nations). Yesterday I asked Kosovo sub which is only solid Muslim majority nation in Europe, and they said not more than 5 percent , so Balkan Muslims and Anatolian Muslims are not comparable since one was under oppression while other was independent and have strong Islamic legacy although tried to be destroyed by founders of Turkey , hijab was banned in Turkey for decades yet Anatolian Muslims resisted this and today that's why we have this rates, otherwise we would end up like Balkans and ex Soviet Turkic nations

while Balkan Muslims are oppressed

Surely you can see the irony when talking about this specific topic

Are you deny what Serbs did to Bosnians and Albanians , or what you and Bulgarians did to Turks in Greece and Bulgaria , there were a lot of pressure till 2000s

I'm Turkish, but what about the things the Ottomans did to Christians?

Only-Dimension-4424@reddit

That's off topic

I would say these are too high, but maybe its a lot higher in the non-central parts of cities.

There's no way it's over 50% in the Ankara region

Lakuriqidites@reddit

Have you been to the central and eastern Anatolia?

It is pretty high

[-]

dont_tread_on_M@reddit

Yes, but in central Anatolia I doubt it's the majority. In eastern Anatolia, the figures make sense

Most hijab wearing women tend to not go outside.

[-]

Butterter@reddit

And they are more older so less going outside

[-]

PrettyChillHotPepper@reddit

The closer to their Greek ancestry they are...

[-]

DranzerKNC@reddit

That’s a common meme but scientifically wrong. Turkish Aegean is where the Turkic/Siberian admixture is highest. Greek ancestry is highest in central Anatolia.

StPauliPirate@reddit

I think the western parts have the highest percentage of Turks with Balkan roots (albanians, macedonians, bulgarians). These people tend to be more liberal muslims.

[-]

DranzerKNC@reddit

Pretty much half of the total Turkish population was constructed by immigrants from Balkans and Caucasia during foundation of republic who were immigrating to Anatolia since late 17th century so it really make no sense. At this point pick a Random Turk and s/he will have at least one ancestor from Balkans or Caucasia.

Western Turkey genetically carries highest Turkic ancestry

[-]

PrettyChillHotPepper@reddit

I straight up don't believe it.

Lakuriqidites@reddit

This guy doesn't believe it so it shouldn't be true.

You can look some western Turkish results here (Muğla,Bolu,Aydın,Balıkesir,Düzce,Antalya,Denizli,Eskişehir etc

[-]

DranzerKNC@reddit

That’s literally direct science and mfers downvote it anyway lol. For some reason people wants actual Turks to identify as Greeks and non-Turk minorities as Turks.
