No Balkan look in my opinion. I would have said either southern Italian or what he is...Turkish. Thats no Greek look.

forget about your fairy tales that Turks are Oriental looking. Even people who travel to Central Asia comment on how Turks there look alike to Turks in Turkey.

He can easliy pass off as a northern slav. Isnt yoruks close to ukraine or something ? If so...that explains the resemblance.

There is this mystery about the Yoruk,their origins.
Most ethnic Turks of Turkey are of Anatolian descent,yet from the many pictures I've seen of Yoruks,they look European.So whats the story? I really want to know.But I've also seen a few pictures of Yoruks with Middle Eastern features.

He kinda looks like Zaza Pachulia (without the weird looking nose): Zaza comes from Georgia (the country , not the redneck state)

actually Yoruks are Turkmen from Central Asia - The Yörüks of Anatolia are often called by historians and ethnologists by the additional appellative 'Yörük Turcoman' or 'Turkmens'. In Turkey's general parlance today, the terms "Türkmen" and "Yörük" indicate the gradual degrees of preserved attachment with the former semi-nomadic lifestyle of the populations concerned, with the "Türkmen" now leading a fully sedentary life, while keeping parts of their heritage through folklore and traditions, in arts like carpet-weaving, with the continued habit of keeping a yayla house for the summers, sometimes in relation to the Alevi community etc. and with Yörüks maintaining a yet stronger association with nomadism. These names ultimately hint to their Oghuz Turkish roots. The remaining "true" Yörüks of today's Anatolian region traditionally use the camel as means of transportation though these are more and more replaced by trucks.
