This is incorrect. In any meaningful way I am aware of the Greek
population forms a continuum with the rest of the Balkans as well as
Southern Italy. On the other hand many haplotypes present in high
levels in Greece are almost non-existant in Turkey.
Of course this may be a modern situation caused by late classical and
medieval movements of people, but what other genetic evidence do we
have?
