Are any Greeks in Turkey who have assimilated ?

I am aware that today there are about 2000 Greeks living in Istanbul and in two Aegean Islands. There two nations have a long history of hostitlity. Are any Greeks living in other parts of inland Turkey like Smyrna or Ankara? Are any Greeks who have assimilated and became Turks in name, culture, lifestyle, Muslims in religion and adopted a Turkish identity? In other words are any Greeks men or women who have completely assimilated into the Turkish society? (I am asking for the post-war years not in Ottoman era) Are any prominent Turks today in modern Turkish society who have a Greek origin? Are any intermarriages between Greeks and Turkish people in Turkey or in Greece? If yes it is more common for Greek women to marry Turkish men or the other way around?
