It says he was a circus acrobat. Maybe a travelling circus or gypsy? If so, who knows.

What I want to know is why a Circus 'Acrobat' would break 2x4s with his face? A bad acrobat maybe...

Both the 87 and 06 filecards from him say he's from Istanbul, so Turkey, yes, but the city changes. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Taurus YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Varujan "Taurus" Ayvazyan Also, his name is different- vaugan Ayzavyan on the cards... I'd guess the book is wrong.

I guess its totally up to the beholder then.
If you are more into the classic stuff, then he's Turkish. Otherwise, Hasbro has rewritten his background as being Armenian. |

There is a difference between nationality and ethnicity. So if your question is "was he a turkish national" i.e. is he from the country of turkey, then your answer is yes regardless of what file card you look at. If your question, on the other hand, is "is he an ethnic turk?" then the answer is unclear because, as u know his file card name is Armenian. And we all know that there are many different ethnic groups that live in turkey.
On a side note: it appears as though Slip Stream is also Armenian. YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Lt. Slip Stream GO ARMOS!!
