It's a mystery right now. Numerous possibilities exist. The way it's being looked at is why Northeastern Jews (Litvaks) have elevated West and East Asian. Numerous guesses: Crimean Karaite admixture, Higher % of East Knaanic ancestry (Jews in the region who predated Ashkenazi arrivals), migration of Mizrachim (maybe Mizrachi Radhanites who brought East Asian wives with them). It's unknown right now, but the evidence is currently pointing at a higher fraction of East Knaanic ancestry.

Jews certainly existed in Eastern Europe prior to the 1300's. Here is an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses_of_Kiev
Right now, it seems likely that they came from Byzantine/Crimean territory. There is a lot more on this.

Is the Asia Minor, Turkish? Aren't they just as whole mostly Hellenic Greek? (70-85%). That would then just be mostly Southern European at 79-82%, some Turkic (6-3%), and lastly MENA at 15%.
No one knows about the composition, yet? I thought Ashkenazis were a highly sampled population.

Btw, I think the modeling of 50% Levantine & 50% Italian is bogus, that would only just shift away from the cluster of Southern European. If you had to model 50% Levantine with any European it would be something north western like British or Orcadian. 50% Samaritan & 50% British would model what an AJ would be.
