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

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:

however subduction startes with collision

What collision? Current GPS velocities show there is no Africa/Eurasia
convergence (see below).

Worst, the occidental basin is most probably in extension!
I suggest you to read the paper by Lavecchia and Creati:

So, what is your explanation for the motion of the area from the east
anatolia fault to crete as illustrated below?
