What does Thracian has got to do with Turks? Istanbul since antiquity was not Thracian. Byzantium was founded by Greek Byzas on a previous abandonded site by Thracians. Read the whole story of how it was founded. The site was deserted and abandonded and this is where Byzas founded the city from scratch. It had been Greek ever since.
That part of Thrace was considered Greek since antiquity, which is why Thracians are listed among the Greek tribes. Thracians inhabited a wide region, but Greek Ionian tribes have been inhabited Greek Thrace and Istanbul since antiquity.
So to call yourself Thracian is anachronism and false, since every inhabitant there, and ever since the time of Jason, spoke Greek and considered themselves to be Greek.
It was part of the empire of Alexander, part of the Hellenic Union, ie. Greece. It then came under the control of the Byzantine Greek Empire.
Turks have nothing to do with Thracians. The Hellenes, Thracians and Illyrians of 1400 BC had a similar make up. They were all descended from the Iberian R1b linage that had colonised the Balkans and their intermixing with the E and J2 ydna linages already there, created the Greek, Thracian, Illyrian languages and caused a split from the Anatolian languages.
The Archaeological and historical evidence suggests that the Doric-Arcado-Cypriot-Ionians were the original Pelasgains in about 2200 BC. These Pelasgains were descended from the same common ancestors as the Thracians, Cretans and Rhodians in about 2700 BC who together shared the same ancestor with the Illyrians in about 3200 BC and even further back come the Lydian's and Carians.
Attic-Ionic Greek was probably influenced by Thracian inorder to force a split between that and Arcado-Cypriot. Arcado-Cypriot was influenced by Cretan which would have been the language of the original inhabitants of the Peloponnese before 1500 BC. This has to be the case since Cypriot dialect is very close to Cretan dialcet.
The Pelasgains (Arcado-Cypriots) were descended from the same common ancestors as the Thracians, Cretans and Rhodians in about 2700 BC. This date is probable for the linguistic split betweenAttic-Ionic and Arcado-Cypriot (Mycenaean) thus Arcado-Cypriot is really a Hybrid of Cretan and the language spoken by the people who invaded the Pelopanese in 1500 BC and similarly Attic-Ionic is a Hybrid of Thracian and the langue of the invaders who remained in Attica.
If the Hybrid Arcado-Cypriot/Cretan dialect was established in 2700 BC then Doric must predate it and must derive from a Hybrid of the language of the people who invaded the Peloponnese in 1500 BC and the language of the Enchelenes who were there in 3200 BC. This follows the account given in Genesis where Iapheth (Iapetus) fathers Elisa I (the Enchelenes) and Ion (the Ionians) who fathers another Elisa II(the Hellenes), and Tharcis (the Thracians) and Kittim (the Cretans).
Doric must therefore split from the common Iapetian language in the same generation as Ion and Elisa I. Illyrian is also a Hybrid of the language of the Hellenes and the indigenous Italo-Celtic language since the Enhelenes colonised Illyria in 1400 BC
