Well, the 5% was just a personal estimation, based on the similarities with the surrounding populations.

And that the only relation between Bulgarians and Central Asian Turks is haplogroup R1a1, found at a rate of 15%, being most probably brought by ancient Slavs.

As for the macedonians, for more than a thousand years they have called themselves bulgarians, why the last fifty years they choose to call themselves macedonians.It's a bit strange? Don't you think so? And maybe somebody else help them to change their mind? Crvena zvezda may tell us more about this.
I don't think that their is any ancient macedonians' blood present in the veins of the nowadays ones.At the time when the slavic tribes arrived on the balkans, the macedonians were long time hellenised and they were (all the greeks) the enemy .So i don't think they mixed in any way.It's unknown if the thrakians had been hellenised. But if so, probably the slavic didn,t mixed with them as well.

Nothing to argue about that.
