have to ask this question)
You have to look at the GPS velocities

Note that Africa and Europa are immobile relatively to each over (no
collision there).
The surface movement are linked to decollement and overthrusting of
different pieces of lithosphere. The origin of the motion is, you guess
it, related to mantle upwelling (a mantle plume if you prefer that term)
pushing away the lithosphere.
actually subduction is pulling the anatolia
You probably refer to a slab retreat, don't you?
But slab retreat means "slab pull"
Then you have a big issue, because the stress inside a slab is
compressive(*) => no slab pull, no slab retreat.
Do you have another explanation?
