Very interesting, I'm a slightly more 'SouthCentral Asian', I guess...

You are in the far edge of the European cluster and likely closer to the East European/Caucasus/SouthCentral Asian cline than I am.
As far as my father told. My origin is paternal grandfather Southeastern Anatolian Kurd. paternalgrandmother is also Southeastern from Hasankeyf. My maternal grandfather is from Mardin and Qamishli from Syrian Kurdistan. And my maternal grandmother is from Qamishli in Syrian Kurdistan. I likely have less Gedrosia more EastMed/Southern admixture makes sense considering most of my ancestry is from Syrian and Turkish Kurdistan.
where do you sit if u click the european box?
You're not the only Kurd who's neither in European nor in the Near Easter box. There's no box for the Kurds, we need our own box, hahaha. I've got 7 other Kurds in my list and none of them are in the European or in the Near Eastern box. I see only myself and other Kurd in the European box, but not in the Near Easter box if I zoom in. I'm green dot, and other Kurd (Alevi Kurmanji) from Dersim is black dot.It's weird, I am neither in the European nor in the Near Eastern box.

Maybe those East Europeans are actually from the Balkans? I've got the feeling that the closest Europeans to Kurds are people from the Balkans. At least somehow I feel me much connected to the South Slavic speaking Balkan folks than to any other European populations. On the other side, Kurds are native to the Zagros Mountains. But there must be a connection between the Balkans and Kurdistan. Maybe paternal hg. 'I2a' or 'E' or maybe 'Iranic' aDNA in Europe, on the European side of the Black Sea...Yes I wrote that (edited) above. You and another Kurd appear inside but at the far edge of the European cluster. Close but outside of the East European cluster.
If you want to know the order of who is closest to you in the Europe: 1.Greeks 2.Albanians 3.Bulgarians/Macedonians 4.Italians 5.Ex Jugoslavs.Maybe those East Europeans are actually from the Balkans?

Is there an v4 chip? if so, then your genome comparisons will be useless with the vast majority of 23andme users (v3 dominant). You'll have to share with other v4 tested Kurds to probably find the highest similarities.
How much % you and Goga share? (I guess he's v4). Anyway, belonging to the same ethnic group not always works. My highest similarities are mostly Angloamerican descent, with some Iberians and Basques.
WOW! then it seems that the pattern of the v4 version resembles v2 (the difference regarding SNPs tested is surely pretty significant though). Until you haven't shared with lots of v4 you can't know how relevant is this similarity. You'll have to discover it yourself comparing results.
