Guess my heritage

[clp0930]

A toothache has me down today so I thought it would be fun to see if people can correctly guess my background.

You get 3 Hints:

I belong to a very old sect of Christianity

I snack on dates a lot

It's a pain in the @ss to straighten my hair

I'm willing to guess you too.

We were part of the USSR and we do border the Kardashian homeland.

No, but we border Turkey and I am frequently mistaken for Turkish. I also listen to their music.
