>Thracians are still more Slavic though and basically Bulgarians.
Source for this? A lot of Greeks in Western Thrace are recent Anatolian refugees. Also, the Slavic invasions barely affected Thrace, Bulgarians only became demographically dominant there around the 14th to 17th centuries.

>More recent mixing with Bulgarians is also a possibility (likewise might be part of the reason why eastern Bulgarians are more Mediterranean than their western compatriots)
Yeah that's bullshit, the most genetically "med"-like Bulgarians are southwesterners (Macedonians).
