Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, Lazaridis in the original paper left open the possibility that the Greek speakers came down from the Caucasus, traveled across Anatolia, and reached Greece from that direction.
It's not my preferred hyppothesis, but it's certainly possible.
I also don't see what it would change, other than maybe they picked up a little Iran Neo and Anatolian Neo along the way and didn't enter the Balkans as pure "steppe" people. Maybe the analogy would be like Bell Beaker.
Who cares, other than as a matter of intellectual interest, for God's sake, other than the Albanians, who apparently like to think that would make them more "European" than the Greeks. Just another stick to beat the Greeks over the head with, when Albanians are almost indistinguishable from Northern Greeks. (That includes you, Ailchu.)
