Hello everyone.
I have been into genetics for a couple years now. I found out a lot of things regarding my ancestry and have also visited the villages we originate from.
My maternal great grandpa is from a Greek village in Anatolia, his wife is a normal Turk, though untraceable ancestry.
My paternal side is completely untraceable. Only though dna testing have I figured out that side of my family. Haplogroup is I-Z17855, a Slavic one originating in Ukraine. So most likely Muslim Balkan Slavs who moved to Turkey after the Balkan wars.
I am wondering if i am able to call myself Aryan. Currently I do consider myself at least of Partial Aryan descent, I do also descent from Central Asian Mongoloids, who obviously aren't Aryans, but since I personally look like a Balkan guy and have European features (Pale Skin, Dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, people have said i look stereotypical Balkan) I think I have a right to do so.
But I am wondering what you guys say?
