They were Turks from the Middle Asia according to Sinan Meydan, Historian and James Churchward, Historian.

Well, I have heard many such unsubstantiated claims such as:
Hungarians are Turks
Hunns are Turks
Bulgarians are Turks
Indians are Turks
Finns are related to Turks.
The truth is that Turks are not a single community, a race or a religious group. The larger Turkic family includes people who are linguistically similar to one another. As for the Turks in Turkey, there are Circassians, Georgians, Azeris, Iranians,Tartars, Abhazas, Albanians, Greeks, Armanians, Lazians, Kurds, Bosnians, Slavs, Arabs, Macedonians, Berberis even Italians (through slavery etc) living in Turkey. Some of the larger groups are aware of their ethnic roots and differences since they have a native language other than Turkish or active links with the countries where they came from. There could be a handful of Indians in Turkey but tracing them in the unfathomable depths of the past will probably not yield any clues.
Even if Indians are not Turks or Turkic, they are respectable people who taught the rest of the world´s people great lessons about how to coexist with nature.

It´s the first one I came too. It felt like I never left. Still contemplating on giving my two cents regarding Egypt.

Did you know, Dutch and Turks are actually the same people. My personal research has shown that they must share a common ancestor. Whenever I bring Dutch cheese to Turkey, the Turkish people love it as much as the Dutch do. They go crazy about the stuff. Dutch people are called "cheeseheads"... Turkish people love cheese, like they are "cheeseheads". Coincidence? And what about the tulips. Tulips are a Turkish national flower, and a Dutch national flower... Coincidence? I think not! Both Turkish and Dutch people like to dance in a line...
 
Coincidence?!?! (okay, the direction is different, but this is due to weather influences, after dispersion of ancestors) And what about the same totally hysterical reactions to football?

Also we have a county named Datça [it can be read as Dutch(i)a] in Muğla and maybe your ancestors came to Europe from there.

Unlikely. Its antique name is Knidos. Datça name was given by the Ottomans.

Doesn´t matter... the Dutch don´t call themselves Dutch anyway, so it wouldn´t have proven my case Dutch is this thing the English call us, because they got confused with the Deutsch people (the Germans).

Years ago I read a book entitled Rip Van Winkle. Since it has been like 25 years, I can´t remember the whole story but there is something I learned from the book: Don´t mess with the Dutch women or they may turn this world into hell for you.
All joking aside, I hope this will arouse some interest to give that book a go.
