Firstly, the idea that only "Western" Turks are (uniquely) related to Europeans is genomically false.

"By means of admixture and Procrustes analyses, we have demonstrated that the geographical subregions of Turkey have a mild yet significant effect on the genetic structure. These findings revealed the effects of admixture events because of internal migration. Considering there was no clear-cut separation between TR subregions in PCA and Procrustes analysis, the recent migration events might have led to genetic homogenization in Turkey."
"As a whole, the contemporary
Western Asian genomic variation looks most similar to genomic variation of South European
populations, e.g., Southern Italians."
"One, contemporary populations in Iran and Turkey are more related to each other than they are to populations living in the Arabian peninsula. Second, these two populations also seem to have higher levels of genetic affinities to southern European populations as compared to populations speaking semitic languages."
All Turks are Western Eurasians. Genetics are clinal. There's no "racial divide" between (Southern) Europeans or West Asians. There is no "racial divide" between Western Anatolians and Eastern Anatolians. Anatolian Kurds, Eastern Turks and Armenians are not particularly different from each other. Western Turks are as "white" or "non-white" as Eastern Turks.
Stop promoting pseudoscience.
The genetic structure of the Turkish population reveals high levels of variation and admixture - PMC
We delineated the fine-scale genetic structure of the Turkish population by using sequencing data of 3,362 unrelated Turkish individuals from different geographical origins and demonstrated the position of Turkey in terms of human migration and ...
