A Turkish citizen did a DNA test and discovered the truth – "we don't come from these real Turks with slanted eyes; we come from Christians who were kidnapped and used as slaves by these Ottomans."

"I did a DNA test, and I am almost entirely from Christian Europeans, from the Balkans, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, and also some Turkish (Anatolian), Caucasian, and Jewish from Iran," he added.

With the advent of genetic testing, more and more Turkish citizens and diaspora communities are discovering that they are Turkified peoples, mostly pointing towards Greek.

A famous case of a Turkish citizen discovering they are Greek is Yannis Vasilis Yaylalı, born Ibrahim Yaylalı.

Yannis was a former Turkish ultra-nationalist that was proud of his enmity towards Kurds and other indigenous peoples of Asia Minor.

However, he soon discovered he was actually Greek, became Christian and then became an activist for minorities in Turkey despite originally joining the Turkish Army to kill them, as reported by The Armenian Weekly.

Full transcript of the above video:

"If you look at this map, it's obvious which is the good and bad sides. Right next to Europe, the Ottomans enslaved European Christians for 600 years to their harems and Janissary army. How can nobody be talking about this?

"How can there be no Hollywood movies about this? Wouldn't Hollywood be dying to make movies about this?

"They would, but Ataturk destroyed all these real Ottomans with these slanted eyes so that history would not exist anymore. That's why nobody makes movies about it. Nobody talks about it. Us Turks are not considered innocent because we don't come from these real Turks with slanted eyes.

"We come from Christians who were kidnapped and used as slaves by these Ottomans. By making us all Turks, by calling us all the same, by saying 'How happy is he who says calls himself Turk', Ataturk turned to the dark side.

"Instead of telling us that we were turned into Turks, instead of telling us we were kidnapped Christians who were then turned into Muslim Turks, he kept this most important part of our history a secret.

"Instead of telling us we come from Christians, he committed genocide against Christian Armenians and Christian Greeks so he can establish a country without any Christians in them.

"I did a DNA test and I am almost entirely from Christian Europeans, from the Balkans, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, and also some Turkish (Anatolian), Caucasian, and Jewish from Iran. Other Turks' DNA will also look like this. There's only going to be a little bit of Turkish DNA."
