They are Turks

So?

Well, if they assume and believe they're Turks and they're Muslims as well so there's nothing to discuss about this case.I trust genetics more than language and religion so i support genetic tests.This is my view.

25 million Kurds in Turkey don't have access to Kurdish language education (unless privately paid). Turks in Greece don't deserve shit.

I clearly wrote about my view on genetics so If you replied my view then where the genetic results of Dodecanese Turks are?Do you have any results to share with me?

It is in my archive but i'm not with my laptop now. I have two different samples one with ~2% East Eurasian and the other was something like 4.5%. Also, they shift to the Anatolians but clearly show native admixture as well.
