OR, more realistically I ascribe it to a slave trade.

"The slave trade was the backbone of the economy of the Crimean Khanate.[30][31] However, some historians are of the opinion that the role of the slave trade in the economy of the Crimean Khanate is greatly exaggerated by modern historians, and the raiding economy is nothing but a historical myth.[32]
The Crimeans frequently mounted raids into the Danubian principalities, Poland-Lithuania, and Muscovy to enslave people whom they could capture; for each captive, the khan received a fixed share (savğa) of 10% or 20%. These campaigns by Crimean forces were either sefers ("sojourns"), officially declared military operations led by the khans themselves, or çapuls ("despoiling"), raids undertaken by groups of noblemen, sometimes illegally because they contravened treaties concluded by the khans with neighbouring rulers.
For a long time, until the early 18th century, the khanate maintained a massive slave trade with the Ottoman Empire and the Middle East, exporting about 2 million slaves from Russia and Poland-Lithuania over the period 1500–1700.[33] Caffa (an Ottoman city on Crimean peninsula) was one of the best known and significant trading ports and slave markets,"

That's where this "blond look" that Turks like to claim as "their own" comes from in my opinion - from Europeans abducted from their native lands.

I can't decide. Send some of each to my house, and I will research which ones I like better.

Yep, and quite a number of Sultans wives or concubinage were East European women that were captured slaves. There are also Turks that have very dark skin. Also in a part of the Southern Russia, when the Ottomans ruled, before the Russian conquest of that region, they brought some black African slaves to live there.

Yet I have also met naturally blonde hair, blue eyed Lebanese people. I have also encountered very dark skinned Romanians. There are diversified people in all countries..
