Armenia is celebrating Trndez in the streets! 🇦🇲🔥
Also known as Tiarn’ndarach, this ancient holiday brings people together with dancing, music, and bonfires outside churches across the country.
The celebration symbolizes purification, renewal, the blessing of newlyweds, and the hope and warmth of spring overcoming winter.

Turkish Woman Takes DNA Test, Realizes She’s Not Turkish But 87.8% Armenian, 8.3% South Italian & 2.3% Greek/Albanian
➖➖➖
A video has gone viral on social media showing a Turkish woman living in Germany reacting in disbelief after discovering through her ancestry DNA test results that she is not Turkish but 87.8% Armenian, 8.3% South Italian, 2.3% Greek/Albanian, and 1.6% Persian/Kurdish.
Shocked, she begins the video saying she expected to be “97 or 98 percent Turkish,” then spirals into disbelief as she reads the results out loud: “What? What’s going on? No… no… I can’t believe it. 87.8% Arme… Arme… South Italian… Albanian… Persian and Kurdish…,” repeatedly stopping mid-sentence and asking, “Huh?” as she tries to process what she’s seeing.
In disbelief, she then says she’s “literally 0% Turkish,” emphasizing, “I’m from the Black Sea, Trabzon. I’m Turkish. 0%? I’m 0% Turkish. I can’t believe this,” before adding that she doesn’t know how she’ll tell her parents and family “that we aren’t Turks.” She says she would have understood if it showed “70% Turkish” or even “50%,” but admits, “I need to process this. I wish I never did this. I regret it now.”
The video, like many others, has continued to spark intense discussion online, highlighting the deep ethnic diversity that exists within Turkey despite the country’s long-standing emphasis on a singular national identity.
While DNA-based ancestry kits have exploded in popularity globally, in Turkey the direct-to-consumer ancestry DNA kits are effectively banned or heavily regulated, with citizens often forced to rely on foreign laboratories or legal intermediaries to obtain testing, according to Hellenic Daily News.
The government’s restrictions stem from long-standing sensitivities around ethnicity and national identity. Turkey’s modern population descends from a complex blend of Anatolian, Caucasian, and Balkan peoples, yet official narratives have historically emphasized a singular “Turkish” identity. Viral stories like this one challenge that notion and highlight the region’s diverse ancestral roots, including significant Armenian heritage often obscured by decades of assimilation policies.
