He must be a Greek with Turkish or maybe combine with some Persian blood from the Persian invasion.

@FUCKEEER @Taiga Saejima This Greek scores very high MENA/western Asian ..Is he a Cypriot Turk ancestry or what, but I have seen Greeks with high MENA score but I don’t recall this high xD
He is either a greek islander or greek cypriot. One greek islander member here from rhodes and karpathos posted his 23andme results and it was very similar to this one.

No, not Greek Islander at least not from Crete, Rhodes or those islands near Anatolia, not even Cypriot. Greek Islander would have a lot more Italian and a lot more Greek. That person is from Anatolia but not western Anatolia as those Turks would have a lot of Greek ancestry. Trabazon is where his type of ancestry is located according to 23andMe, sounds right.
So how do you know the person is Greek? Even in the days of Imperial Rome, most of the Greeks that went to Rome were from Anatolia, some from North Africa and a few from the Levant. They were mixed and they spoke Greek. I read that Erdogan came from a Greek town, and his original surname was Greek, now he looks very Turkish, not Greek.
