Marco Polo notes that Erzerum possessed "a very rich silver mine" (Waugh's translation) in his description of Greater Armenia, so I'm surprised to see that the location's RGO is wool.

From this image posted in the Ottoman flavor comments, we can see at least two additional locations have been added in Stefani (between Burdur and Golhisar) and Ulus (split from Bartin).

Maybe culture and religion can be tied together for Greeks specifically, because Christian Turks seem much more rare than Bosniaks, Albanians and other South Slavic Muslims. A small amount of Orthodox Turks (or Muslim Greeks for that matter) is fine and historical, but a large amount like that starts to get unrealistic.
Copts, Syriacs and Armenians should also change culture into Arabs and Turks respectively when they convert to Islam imo, though I don't want any of these cases to happen too quickly, they remained significant up until WW1 and today in many cases.

Keep in mind the historical circumstance; is it that Christian Turks are uncommon for some particular region tying culture to religion, or the fact that Turkish people generally didn't find themselves living under Christian states for this period?

Of course if Turks were ruled by Christians that'd be a different story; just look at the Gagauz. But these Christian Turks seem to be the result of Greeks changing culture under Ottoman rule without converting, and that seems odd.
Yeah, that part definitely seems odd. Religion should change much more readily than culture.
Maybe the issue is that they're cores? Cores don't let unaccepted/not primary cultures "expand" and presumably dramatically accelerate assimilation (but not conversion), so I think that behavior is causing a lot of nonsense.
@Aldaron I noticed that some of the map colours of the countries in regions have been changed which is good but I think that there's still much work to do here
-The Menteşeids have been changed to look less similar to the Byzantines but now they are to similar to the Knights hospitaller, my suggestion is to change the colour of the K.H. to white as it was an important colour to both crusaders and Jerusalem(it's their map colour in Eu4 and it's in both their flags)
-The Karasids colour makes them look like a subject of the Ottomans, my suggestion is to give them the current yellow colour of the Aydinids and give the latter the previous red colour of the Germiyanids(since it's similar to the red in their flag and they look to similar to Genoa)
-Cilicia looks like a subject of the Jalayrids or the Mamluks, my suggestion is to give them the previous colour of the Candarids as it contrasts the other two's colours quite well and it's similar to Armenia's(which fits since their primary culture is Armenian as well)
-Teke and the Hamidids colours are too similar, my suggestion is to give Teke the previous colour of Alaiye
- The Sahibids, Inancids(which still need to be renamed to Inanjids), Kubadids and Ahis have the same white colour which makes them look like subjects of the Jalayrids, my suggestion here is to change the Jalayrids' colour rather than every minor country around them with a similar colour, whatever that may be(I was thinking of a dark blue similar to France since it's not used much im the middle east)
