How is it pulling if there is no pull?
Or may be you have a personnal interpretation of how subduction could
pull anatolia. Could you describe it, please?

subucting material can pull.

Could you be more descriptive? What are the evidence proving it is
pulling whereas there is no tension but compression in the slab?

did you ever read a petrology book? heat difference and phase changes
cause the pull.

Yeah, I know. Density increases so does the negative buyoancy and the
slab should sink.

The problem is that there should be tensional stress in the slab if it
was sinking and pulling. There is none. The stress is compressional
along the slab axis.
These data are not compatible at all with the slab pull concept.
Doglioni made a good review on that flaw. You should read it:

So, do you have another explanation for the movement of anatolia?
