Haplogroup distributions in Turks
According to Cinnioglu et al, (2004) there are many haplogroups present in Turkey. The majority haplogroups are shared with European and Near Eastern populations as E3b, G, J, I, L, N, K2, R1, which form 94.1% from the Turkish Gene pool and contrast with only a minor share of haplogroups related to Central Asia C, Q, O - 3.4%, India H, R2 - 1.5% and Africa A, E3*, E3a - 1%. Some of the percentages identified were approximately:
Y chromosome Haplogroup distribution of Turkish people
J1=9% - Typical amongst people from the Arabian Peninsula.
J2=24% - Typical amongst Near Eastern peoples.
R1a=6.9% - Typical of Eastern Europeans
I=5.3% - Typical of Central Europeans
R1b=14.7% -Typical of Western Europeans
G=10.9% - Typical of people from the Caucasus
E1b1b=11.3% - Typical amongst populations of the Balkans.
N=3.8% - Typical of Siberian populations
T=2.5% - Typical of Mediterranean and South Asian populations
K=4.5% - Typical of Asian populations.
L=4.2% - Typical of Indian Subcontinent populations.
Q=1.9% - Typical of Central Asian populations.
This shows that Turkey like other populations nearby have a wide variety of haplogroups. Many ancient migrations and historic expansions of peoples passed through the area corresponding to modern day Turkey.
As you can see Turkish people are more Southern Europe/Near East (which consists of Mediterrean, Azeri's, Caucasian's, people of Mesopatamia) than Arabian or Central Asian.
Near East genes are the most predominant 24%.
Next comes Western Europeans 14.7%
and following is Balkans 11.3%
