Modern Anatolian Turks: Less Turkic than we may be thinking?

I’ve been browsing genetics related forums for a long time, during my time online i’ve seen a lot of models for Turkish people, they usually get modeled as local Anatolian and Central Asian, the Central Asian part is usually thought of as their Turkic ancestry, however, is it really such?

People never seem to mention the fact that Turks aren’t a people native to Central Asia, before Turkic expansion, Central Asia was inhabited by various peoples, especially Indo-Iranian ones.

All of the Turkic samples available that i’ve seen are from Central Asia, i find it hard to think these people hadn’t absorbed any local admixture, did they just remain pure and never mixed with the locals?

I thought this seemed like an unlikely scenario, so i decided to try and model modern Anatolian Turks as native Anatolians, Early Indo-Iranians as well as something East Eurasian as a proxy for pre-Central Asian expansion Turkic ancestry, for that, i chose Mongolic groups, the reason being i saw some Avars samples plotting around modern Mongolian people, Avars may have been Turkic according to some people, so i thought it could work.

The distances i got were surprisingly good, it seems that Turks can get modeled this way rather successfully.

Eastern Turks seem to be the odd ones out, their distances aren’t very good on this model, i suppose they may require some Kurdish like or Kartvelian like reference, depending on the region.

According to this paper some ancient Turks which were tested were also much more Asian than modern Central Asian Turks?
