Thessalonike (where I, and i think MarkG as well) live, has more than 1 million people, and the rest of greek Macedonia has little over another million, so it would be really hard to keep down a hostile slav minority which would be a vast majority anywhere else (since obviously there arent any slav macedonians to be found here, at least i have never met one).
Interestingly in that map Thessalonike seems to be half slav-macedonian

Btw, if the Cia factbook names the muslim minority in Thrace as "turks" then it seems that it is against the treaty of Lausannes (1922) which specifically names them as "muslim". Had they been turks then they would have been exchanged, along with the rest of the populations.
