A Stanford University of U.S.A-Pavia university of Italy research of greek DNA.

The study showed that, today, Greek DNA is most similar to: a) Italian DNA, b) French DNA, c) Spanish DNA, d) Turkish DNA.

The DNA of Italians in modern day southern Italy is the closest match to the DNA of their Greek neighbors.

Also involved other research institutes of 5 different countries (from Baghdad to Moscow). The research results were published in "The American journal of Human Genetics".

The similarity between Turks and Greeks is, in my opinion, exagerated.
