Whereas Turks, even ones from Thrace or Bulgaria, have genetics components which set them apart from surrounding people and a historical continuity with the noble pre-Muslim Turks, we see that Greeks are a genetically chaotic people and the result of 2 millenia of failures and assimilation.
Who is Greek?
What is a Greek?
Is Greek anyone having been assimilated by the Orthodox Church at some point in history and ending up learning Hellenic language as from 1820.
As a result of this loose identity, Greeks are a mishmash people who don't have any biological aspect that distinguishes them from other people in the world or in the region.
Albanian, Vlah, Slav, Arab, Copt, Maronites, Turks, Armenian, Laz, Georgian,... They have all united around the Orthodox Church and created the modern Greek people.
Therefore, we can easily conclude that the Turks are a genetically way more coherent people (though living in a more diverse country) than Greeks ever are.
