Turks have their ethnic origins in central Asia however it's estimated through studies that modern Turks are only 10 - 21% central Asian - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_studies_on_Turkish_people this is due to centuries of mixing with Arabs and Europeans like Greeks and other Mediterranean ethnicities.

According the wikipedia article Turk was used to describe Anatolian peasants with the upper class in the Ottoman Empire identifying as Ottomans. Ataturk defined the Turkish people as - " people (halk) who established the Turkish republic". Further, "the natural and historical facts which effected the establishment (teessüs) of the Turkish nation" were "(a) unity in political existence, (b) unity in language, (c) unity in homeland, (d) unity in race and origin (menşe), (e) to be historically related and (f) to be morally related" and the Turkish constitution - defines a "Turk" as anyone who is "bound to the Turkish state through the bond of citizenship." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_people#Etymology_and_definition

What race would you say Turks are? Are they like Latinos/Hispanics where there are more European ones?
