This is true. I was in a cafe in Madrid and the person standing next to me was trying to order but he didn't speak Spanish just English. So I gave him a helping hand. Then we started to talk. I asked him where he was from and he said, Turkey.
"Ah.." I said "So you are a Turk.And you are Muslim?"
"Well first I am not a Muslim...any more."
I said "I thought 99% of the Turks were Muslim."
!Well," he said "I am of that 1% and I am not Turkish."
"But if you are from Turkey it stands to reason you are Turkish, Muslim or not."
"No." he said "I am a Phoenician."
" They have been extinct for 2000 years." I said.
"NO they have just been misplaced" I can prove that I am a Phoenician. Look at these tests."
He showed me a sheaf of papers that convinced me he was what he said. A few years back a British university did DNA tests on people to see if they had any relation to the people of the ancient world. This guy had super Phoenician DNA more than Turkic. I know a Phoenician. "What's in your wallet?"
