Turks are Asian. They are late arrivals to the Middle East (about 1000 years ago).

Maybe an earlier wave settled in Egypt long, long ago, but this strikes me as very odd.

I’m pretty sure the DNA similarities come from the Hittites, not the latter day Turks that live there now (though the Turkish invaders surely interbred with the original inhabitants and still have some of the same genes).

The writer just saw Anatolian origins and knows that Anatolia means Turkey ergo they must be Turks.
