Their bloodlines go back to the original invaders who came from central Asia.The present population of Turkey are a a real mixture of European and Asian.Turkey is a new country and previously the people were known as ottomans which more accurately described the population at present there is a very strong nationalistic feeling which causes Turks to believe they are a specific race when in fact it is just their nationality.

For the same reason you see these characteristics or facial features in the people of any other country in the middle east, Eastern Europe, or Central Asia ... over thousands of years, invasions, immigration, trade, mixing of different peoples...

This particular characteristic could be related to the position of Istanbul (when it was called Constantinople) on the old Silk Route from Asia, or due to the invasions of Genghis Khan and his grandson, Kublai Khan, which was only turned back in December 1241 at the gates of Vienna ...

But you can't say that it's just some Turks, that's quite a generalisation. In fact you would find this characteristic all over Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia...

This is all speculation and conjecture on my part though, I personally haven't particularly noticed this feature specific to anyone of Turkish descent ... so beyond what I've said, I can say no more...

Hope this has helped you

The Turks originated in Central Asia so narrow eyes would be natural. They only moved to Anatolia in relatively modern times (approximately 1,000 years ago).
