Apparently only Mesolithic-Pitted Ware culture aDNA.
Anything prior to that like the Aurignacian culture is irrelevenat.:rolleyes::picard2:

It doesn't says that.
"No need to repeat that these prices are aspects of relations between the Greeks and other populations and not necessarily mean that the Greeks are a mixture of Basque, Sardinians, West Asiats, etc. Just demonstrate that there are eg greater common roots with the peoples of Asia Minor than with the Basques or with Sardinians and other Mediterranean peoples than with those of the Baltic."

It says that we are not a mixture of West Asiats and that we just have, partly, common roots(=same place origin) with the peoples of Asia Minor.
Why is Med component native European?

Mediterranean genes extends from Turkey, Israel and north Africa up to Skandinavia, so it seems, according to your logic, that central and north Europe is full of Turkic, Israelitic & African, non-European, Mediterranean blood.
West Asia is in green.

West Asian can be seen as a reference population with a number of different races associated with it. Could the reason Europeans score west Asian be the result of ancient tribes from Anatolia who migrated to Europe? Wasn't Anatolia (west asia) once inhabited by racially Europid people before the arrival of Turkic and Semitic tribes?
Nice map but it has some obvious problems. Why would ethno-geographic boundaries exactly follow modern political boundaries? For example, I would call West Turkestan part of central Asia ("inner" Asia if you prefer).
I dunno but it wasn't it generally regarded as being Greek for over a thousand years?
Genetic wise Caucasus/West Asian component is the closest or equal distant to north european than atlantic/med

No absolutely not, if we were to consider turks, iranians, georgians as european and white, we should also start considering assyrians, arabs and pakistanis european.
Even though, armenians seem to be very well integrated, and an interesting society.
What are the specific markers labeled as ''West Asian''?
