No,

The Turks are a people originally from Central Asia. It is widely believed that they originate from the Altay mountains in the west of Mongolia. The Original Turks may have also been a Mongolic people who mixed with a Caucasoid people of central Asia called the Tocharians to form the modern day Turkic peoples of Central Asia and Turkey. It is very possible the word Turk is derived from the word Tochar. Turkic people include (Turkish, Azerbaijanis, Uzbeks, Uyghurs, Tatars, Kazakhs, Turkmens and Kyrgyzis. All Turkic people today speak Altaic languages which are similiar to Mongolian.

The Arabs on the other hand are a caucasian race that originate from the Middle East.

No. Armenians are not Arabs at all. Armenians are the first nation to accept Christianity as an Official religion, they speak their own language - Armenian, which is a separate branch of Indioeuropean language family, and has nothing to do with Arabic.

Armenia is in Europe, It is situated in the Transcaucasus region. However it is situated in the crossroad of two worlds - Europe and Asia, and has characteristics from both parts. Armenians are white.

Answer 1

OF COURSE NOT !! turkey is like a European country. All the woman wear bikinis and go to the beach. Im Turkish. and we do not speak Arabic in turkey. when someone asks what language do you speak in turkey everyone says Arabic and Turkish. But in turkey NO ONE knows Arabic.

Answer 2

The first answer glosses over the fact that Turkey is a very diverse country. While it is true that Turkey is not traditionally considered an Arab country by its citizens or by European or Arab States, it certainly has a few Arab speakers, especially in Alexandretta and Gaziantep. Turkey is not usually considered a European Country either, but some sort of middle ground between being an Arab State and a European State, while not actually being either.

Yes. The overwhelming majority of Turks are Muslims. Historically in the Ottoman Empire, a person's ethnicity depended on their religion, so many Turks continue to consider Islam a part of Turkish identity.
