First of all, what is a "real Turk"? Does geography defines it? This is most easy to refute, First Bulgarian Empire, Memlukis and Saffavids were Turks. Turks have been living in all through Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East and South Africa in history. Everyone can agree inhabitants of these lands today aren't Turks. Is this language what defines it? Anatolian Turks speaks Turkish too. Provided it has major Persian, Arabic and European influence but it still is Turkish. Anyone arguing against it can read about how languages evolve and and how they are classified. Does culture define it? Maybe, but how you would be sure what is Turkic culture? First idea comes to mind is culture of nomads in steppes. But doesn't culture evolves according to time and place? Would Kazakhs would be living their steppic lifestyle if they went to Libyan desert? Or does French still practice jousting? Of course not, but we can still call a Kazakh in Africa a Kazakh, a French in 2020 a French. Culture evolves. So "real Turk" argument doesn't help anybody and I dont think any populace has monopoly on their race. There are Arabs in more than 20 country with their wildly different customs, but nobody seems to care about which one is real.
And writer claims Turks in Anatolia are not Turks but in fact assimilated minorities. I don't want be snarky about it but "felicitations!", you just discovered hundred years old truth biologist didn't want you to learn (!). Let me give you a little trivia: our first prime minister was half-Kurdish, our national poet is Albanian. I suggest writer to also look how Kazakhs perform in dna origin tests. I'm sure there is a lot Russian gene pool Kazakh population. Anyway, dna itself too is not a measure of idea of a nation. Nothing except sense of nation is a measure of a nation.
Anyway if these Anatolian Turks are not real Turks what are they? Are they Greek, Arab, Armenian or Russian? While similar to these, none of them truly defines Anatolian people. So what are we gonna do? Call ourselves assimilated-Greeks, Armenians, Arabs and etc. confederation? While clearly speaking Turkic language, any child would laugh at this idea.
Also author seems to have an idea of assimilation is somehow is frowned upon process. No, there are tons of other examples about how assimilated can be a participator of new culture. Most Americans are assimilated into being American, Bulgarian Turks on first empire were assimilated into being Slavs.
Then writers goes about rambling about how "real Turks", Armenians and Kurds had no problems. No shit, could it be because you "real Turks" never lived with Armenians? For example I myself never had problems with Mayan people. Pointless try at painting this "real Turks" as flower giving peace lovers like nobody knows nothing about Turkic-Mongol history. Writer's so called "real Turk" culture were nomadic. And nomads fight, pillage, steal or do whatever is necessary for survival.
If you have any problems with Erdoğan just say it, I myself practicing it since my teens. It's harmful to mental health but not as much as hosting this half-baked racist opinions. You don't have to turn yourself into laughing stock in the pointless hope of trying to define a "real Turk" that excludes Anatolian Turks. Also, what was that preaching Russian Empire and mentioning thousand years of hostility with China part? What's that has to do with Erdoğan? And that long summary of French and British colonies. I don't know about what he or she writes but looking at this incoherent rambling I can only hope in Kazakhstan they call edgy redditors also writer.

I didn't write the article. It was a Kazakh who wrote the article, and this seems to generally be what Kazakhs think about people in Turkey.
