You probably lived your whole life believing that you’re 100% Cypriot Greek when in reality you’re just one-third Greek. Shocked ?
Cypriots have a similar DNA to Syrians, Lebanese and Palestinians
but with more Greek.
It looks that many people fled the Eastern Coast of Mediterranean during the Roman-Persian wars and Muslim conquest!
It's very hard to trace all the island Greeks because our bloodline is sometimes different because of the Ottoman Empire
My mother's is from Anatolia and lesbos grandmother my DNA is just like yours
I have zero Greek, love greek culture very very very warm and kind people ♥
%20 west asian = turkish lmao
geia su file ekama kai egw to test je evgale ena perpou ta idia apotelesmata 😛
The original inhabitants of the island arrived from south coast of Anatolia and west coast of palestine 10.000 years ago so it make sense to have common ancestors with the rest of the middle east.
Very interesting results! I am (Turkish speaking) Cypriot as well. I have more Greek than you and little bit less West Asian but our results are quite similar! My results are on my channel if you want to check out! These tests prove that Greek and Turkish Cypriots are very similar to each other, we are not different. ☺️
