I've been working on a timeline of mine and I am increasingly finding that the PoD I've gone with puts me a head of many of the foundational stones of the modern world. One such example is it predates the arrival of the Turks in Anatolia. So, for diversities sake, I was wondering how this could be altered.

I am not sure on the reasons why the Turks moved into Anatolia, since this is an area of my timeline I have not researched properly yet, but I've seen some depictions of them migrating into Hungary instead. Would it really be a possibility, considering the large Hungarian population already there, to from them to displace them and become the dominant ethnicity in the region? What other alternatives are there for them? Is it possible they could move to the Caucasus, or maybe Persia? Or could they even just stay in Central Asia?

In addition, what do you think would happen to Anatolia in such a scenario? Would it remain Greek or would it be picked off by one local power or another?
