I have seen some Turkmen pictures they do resemble Eurasian populations more.
by the the way in Kabul, Afghanistan in general there are big populations of Iranic people do they share similar mixture with Iranians( R1b, J2,...) or not? I think they(we) could be R1b-heavy too plz provide me some links anyone.
The only likely Z2103 I can find in Turkmenistan is of the Steppic branch, rather than the South Caucasus/Iranian branches. It is very similar to samples from Ukraine and Belarus, and my guess is that it is of relatively recent Russian paternal ancestry.
