The link does not work but it is a well known study. It is being circulated by FYROM circles and Afrocentrists.
I have touched on the subject in the Mediterraneans v. Indoeuropeans thread, reply 156, page 11.
The are a lot of surprises in genetics, like the genetic link between Native Americans and people from the eastern Mediterranean (including Greeks) but the study you mentioned is not one of them.
By isolating the Greeks from all the neighbouring populations, even areas that have had massive Greek settlement in the past (Crete for example), the study contradicts all other scientific studies on Greeks as well as logic. In that sense it refutes itself and is not worthy of further refutation.
