And do you like a little darker skinned guys too? Just curious you know...

Right, when I saw these pics, China is the first thing that popped into my head, not Turk.

Perhaps, but it's healthier than flaming eachother

Of course I do, and I'd be damned if I did otherwise!

Dear Padishah,

   Hi there. Well, when you talked about 'Turkmans', I simply found out you were right!!! Well, we've got even Iranian Baluchs in Turkmenistan; they call themselves Turkmens; but are they really Turkmen? You see here, it just reflects the nation and not the tribe. Let's suppose you're grandmother's really from Turkmenistan (and not Turkmanistan); then tell me of just one Turkmen word with correct pronounciation. Ok? Take good care and just take it easy.

Kind regards,

Dear all,

   Hi there. Wish you all the best. Well, thank you very much for all your concerns; all negatives and positives (ther'es no postiive point). Listen, I'm just surprised by your viewpoints. Are you Turkmens? How many of you has lived with any of the Asian tribes for a period of time? With Kazaks, with Kyrgizes, with Turkmens or with Ozbeks? Or you've just seen some documentaries on TV or maybe some movies about China? Why do you think a Chinese face is differed from a Mongolian? You haven't seen all of the China to know about how different Chineses look like, have you? How can you determine a slanted-eyed person is from Mongolia? Hmm? I just can't realize why you people try to tell me how I look like.

   And you people from Turkey; you probably compare real Turkmens (Turkmenistan) to Turkmens of Turkey. Even their languages differs from each other. Let alone about their faces.

   If you don't belive me, ask Iranians who've seen Turkmens. Ask them about Turkmen face. They know Turkmens very well.

   Should I say those two girls in green are my aunt's daughters? And the other two are University Students in Ashghabat? I'm not going to prove anything; I just described the way the 'oz Turkmen' (real Turkmen) looks like.

   We've got people calling themselves Turkmen in Turkmenistan who are not even originally Turk. We've got Ghongirat tribe in Ozbekistan, my dear Perdon; but they call themselves as Ozbeks. They are Mongolian and not Turkish you know that. So it depends on which kind of Turkmen you're talking about.

   I know you won't accept my words; in fact, I don't want you to accept those. But, I belive in something... nobody knows more about Turkmens that a real Turkmen.

   If a real Turkmen is Caucaid, so why is he classified as Mongolian? So if he's not of Turkic & Mongolian characteristics, so what's his difference with Azeri Turks who are Iranians originally with Turkic language?

   You were talking about the movie Chengiz Kan. The actors were mostly Mongolian. Even among them, you saw different kind of eyes. So, are you going to classify Chengiz Kan's actor as Mongolian and Borti as Chinese? So his friend (who kept Chengiz Kan's mother) should be Ozbek, hmm?

   Take good care and take it easy.

Kind regards,

Iltirish

I don't know him, but this guy is Turkish: Erol Sander, from the same movie:
