Native of Istanbul, for example (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turk

(Other definitions for turk that I've seen before include "Person from W.Asia/S.E. Europe republic" , "impetuous as a youth" , "Native of Ankara's country" , "Native of Istanbul" , "Native of a country between the Black Sea and the Mediterranean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
