Anyway, for the 9% of their genes that come from turkic sources, the religions before Islam were:
Tengriism - belief in the Sky god
Nestorian Christianity (if they were part of the Naiman or Uyghur tribes)
Manichaenism (if they were part of the uyghurs)
I traveled around Turkey back when I was in college. It was funny how they just ignored all the Greek writing carved into ancient temples and whatnot, but instead had plaques about the "People of Turkey" who built them two thousand years ago.
There is a lot of serious cognitive dissonance in that country. Don't even mention the Armenians to a Turk unless you want trouble.
They hate everything Greek or Byzantine. In fact, the Turkish Air Traffic Control would not even do a hand off when you flew out of Turkey into Greek airspace. You just had to pop up on radar. Same going from Greek to Turkish airspace.
Sure, the province of Asia was mostly Greek when the Turks invaded.
Erdogan called the mayor of Istanbul a Greek as an insult now I understand, didn't know about the whole Greek Turkey thing.

Do police have the right to give their honest opinion?
Islam is in fact a hate group whose central dogma is hate for all non-Muslims. To pretend otherwise is to expose us all to great danger.
