No. Genetic studies have revealed the following about the origins of the Finnish people:
Recently, the use of mitochondrial "mtDNA" (female lineage) and Y-chromosomal "Y-DNA" (male lineage) DNA-markers in tracing back the history of human populations has been started. For the paternal and maternal genetic lineages of Finnish people and other peoples, see, e.g., the National Geographic Genographic Project and the Suomi DNA-projekti. Haplogroup U5 is estimated to be the oldest mtDNA haplogroup in Europe and is found in the whole of Europe at a low frequency, but seems to be found in significantly higher levels among Finns, Estonians and the Sami people.[39] Of modern nationalities, Finns are closest to Cro-Magnons in terms of anthropological measurements.[40]
With regard to the Y-chromosome, the most common haplogroups of the Finns are N1c (58%), I (29%), R1a (7.5%) and R1b (3.5%).[41] Haplogroup N1c, which is found only in a few countries in Europe (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Finland and Russia), is a subgroup of the haplogroup N (Y-DNA) distributed across northern Eurasia and estimated in a recent study to be 10,000–20,000 years old and suggested to have entered Europe about 12,000–14,000 years ago from Asia.[42]
Finns show very little if any Mediterranean and African genes but on the other hand almost 10% of Finnish genes seem to be shared with Siberian populations. Nevertheless more than 80% of Finnish genes are from a single ancient North-European population, while most Europeans are a mixture of 3 or more principal components.[43]
The bottom line is that Finns are descended from an ancient line of peoples from the far north of Asia who migrated into Scandinavia 10,000 or more years ago, long before Huns or Turks or existed. Due to fluctuations in glacial cover after the last Ice Age, they may have been isolated from other European population groups farther south for long periods, since they show little genetic input from more southern regions. Their language is NOT Turkic and is not linguistically related. And they are NOT descended from the Huns. They are far older than the Huns which had a central Asian origin slightly more than 2.000 years ago.
I thought I was from Dutch origin but have found from DNA tasting that my "tribe" came out of Africa to Turkey and then to Finland. It's funny because I hear all the time that Turks are related to Finns, but some people totally oppose that idea.
The Hunnic Empire was Turkic. Cause Attila is Turkic himself. Also today Hungarian people accept they are Turkic. All Turkic states having a historical organization in Hungary. Turkey is of course Turkic. Also Finnish people may be considered Turkic but they don't really accept that they are Turkic.(Like Bulgarians) But there is an association in Finland who accept that they are Turkic. So simply, yes they are, but they just don't accept it. Hope I helped. :-)
PS: It really depends on what do you mean by Turkish. Generally, there are many ethnicities in Turkey. For example there are Arabic people who are a Turkish citizen. They are Turkish. People who are coming from the Turkic race are Turkish too but they are also Turkic. I answered it as you mean Turkic people.
Reference: I am Turkic. I know Turkic history since all of my family is Pan-Turkist and Pan-Turanist.
