This is pretty simplified. No such thing as greco-slavic or greco-anatolian(Anatolian turks are genetically different from Kurds, while they're more similar to each other than say a european or a pakistani. As are levant/mesopotamian arabs, as are assyrians, druze, egyptians. Kurds are closest to west-iranic groups, genetically speaking) . Y-dna Haplogroups are older than modern ethnic groups. Sometimes they are associated with movements of ethnic groups and historic groups, because of mutation similarity. But they don't really represent linguistic/cultural. They just represent mutational profiles that have different distributions in populations. Autosmal genetics are better for that. But even then, genetic interrelatedness differentates from region to region. Like north european and central europeans celts and germanics are pretty much the same population, the only difference is the gradient of patterns. You go to greece however, the distance between them is much bigger. The difference between kurds and arabs is also bigger.

Also... contrary to the anglo-saxon myth, the english depending on region, are just celts with a little bit of scandinavian ancestry(theyre otherwise identical to irish, welsh, scots). Actually some parts of ireland have more saxon ancestry, than the english in the north and south-west(cornwall).
