`, 18 January 2007 (UTC)  ::::::::In regards to my post about Turks, I was referring to the previous poster when they said, ``they are in fact more European than the eastern and central Balkan Slavs, many of whom are decendents of Turkic tribes  something modern genetics shows,`` which was false. And yes, any Macedonian connection cannot be made unless one is referring to ancient Macedonia. Even then, the Seleucid dynasty actually moved Greek colonists to its eastern provinces, probably from the region of Ionia, which was populated by the descendants of those from southern Greece.  20:51`
