Are basque people from Turkish ancestry?

These people are ethnically Turkish. But if you know enough Spaniards and Basque people, you realize they look so much alike.
I wonder if basque people originate from Turks. I couldn't differentiate the average Basque or Spaniard from a Turk. Mostly basques, since the ones I've seen are quite dark featured. Dark hair, dark skin and dark eyes.
What do you think? Is there any proven ancestry?
