To sum up:
Pomaks are Pomaks. We can't consider them Bulgarian, Turkish or Greek.
If they had to choose one meta-ethnicity to identify themselves, it would be Turkish for 80% of them and the rest Bulgarian.
Genetically and linguistically(despite most are Turkified) South Slavs, culturally religious Muslims, probably even more radical than Turks.
I can also say i'm Greek because i have Greek nationality this doesn't mean i'm ethnic Greek, this is the thing which people should understand, i suppose.

You're right. I have a very modern viewpoint and I think the world changes quickly from generation to generation. For example, my parents were born in Greece and my grand-parents were born in the Ottoman Empire. I have this different viewpoint because even though I am a citizen of Greece... I was born the USA, I work in the USA, and I live in the USA the majority of the year. I visit Greece every year around Pascha and we have property near Igoumenitsa. I have a different perspective on identity.

Neither, but way closer to Bulgarians genetically.
Pomaks score slightly higher Slavic than Bulgarians, between the range of Bulgarian-Moldovan and also they have lower Paleo-Balkan according to the results i've seen, so it's safe to say they're South Slavic and overlap with Bulgarians in this sense.
Socioculturally neither again, but way closer to Turkish than the both.
