My Ancestry DNA results doubts

[Armenian Bishop]

we were so insignificant that we managed to destroy the Eastern Roman empire. I agree with you. Also not mentioning all the conquests in the Middle East, Europe and Northern Africa. Just a drop in the ocean

Probably, he wasn't talking about martial achievements, but the kind that creates new wonders of civilization instead. In that respect, most of the Turkish accomplishments are rip-offs that have been stripped or stolen from more indigenous people in the area.

So according to yiou, which regions in modern day Turkey have the lowest Central Asian contribution? I've seen lot sof Turks from around Ankara and Trabzon and they look more like a mix of Greek, Caucasion and some Middle Eastern with an Asian vibe in some cases, with a small minority looking more Central Asian influenced.

The Anatolians weren't really hospitable. Because Anatolian Greeks have almost 0 Turkic genes. Even though they lived with Turks for a long time.

Greek from Niğde (Central Anatolia)

The Anatolian Greeks who converted to Islam, it seems, blended into the Turkish population. So the Turks were the welcoming ones, instead of destroying the Anatolians completely and not considering the converted ones as Turks, they accepted them as Turks and mixed with them.
