The turkish LANGUAGE is from the Asian steppes. They did relatively little to the genetics of the people they invaded. People from Turkey are quite similar to Southern Europe. The original turkish-speakers would have looked more typically Asian.
Several studies have concluded that the genetic haplogroups indigenous to Western Asia form the largest part of the gene pool of the present-day Turkish population
The largest autosomal study of Turkish genetics (on 16 individuals) concluded that the Turkish population form a cluster with Southern European populations and that the East Asian (presumably Central Asian) legacy to the Turkish people is estimated to be 21.7%.
Yes. A cluster with southern European populations mixed with East Asian legacy. That is not the same as the genetics of the Greek people.
You also ignored the link I posted on the Greek genocide, where it states the Ottomans murdered large portions of the remaining ethnically Greek population. There was also a population exchange in 1923, where Greece took in as many of the remaining Anatolian and Pontic Greeks as they could. Turkey didn't want Greeks in their country anymore. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_exchange_between_Greece_and_Turkey
Anyway, I wasn't trying to spend all day arguing about this, and I'm not the person you were originally arguing with before the Greek genetics statement either. Have a good weekend.
