Also, if this is true then why does the average Irish person look nothing like your average Turk?
Maybe they were trying to head West and couldn't go any further so stopped in Ireland?
Or they were trying to get as far away from Turkish women as possible?
As for their appearance: 10,000 years or more living in Ireland's climate might reduce any evolutionary advantage of skin pigment.
What's not mentioned in that article is they moved from the northern part of Anatolia, many people in that part of Anatolia look like Irish people most of them blond and redhead. Even once I talked with someone Turkish thinking that he was from black sea he said "I'm from Ireland, nothing surprising some say our roots are from there"
Their music similar gayda and tulum are very similar instruments when someone say Ireland first thing coming to my mind Gayda just like black sea reminds Tulum.
Tayyip Erdoğan is from black sea, his son Bilal is redhead
