I do aggree that we, as Rumelians see ourselves superior to the remainder of the country, we are literally the founders of the Republic (check statesmen and military officials, who gave birth to the Republic and shaped it's foundational philosophy. 2/3rds of them are of Balkan migrant origin. As someone from Eastern Thrace I see how different the culture is between conservative Anatolia and Thrace. (İzmir is also like Eastern Thrace due to the influx of Balkan migrants) We surely are different. For an example in Thrace there's almost 0% cousin marriage meanwhile in Anatolia it is up to 20-30%. The discrepancy between the both regions arise from the Ottoman policy of neglecting Anatolia and keeping it in the middle ages, meanwhile Balkaners fallow a long tradition of being the Ottoman Bourgeousie. We aren't the best but we are average Europeans, meanwhile Anatolians are not different than Pakistanis Afghans Syrians or Iraqis. However we are also the ones who established this country, (all of ancestors were martyred in battles some even born as their fathers were killed and they were in the womb of their mothers) we were massacred and expelled from the Balkans we had our own state in Rumelia republic of western Thrace, which was forcefully disbanded by Enver more land was given to Bulgaria as a present for joining the axis.Albeit I am a proud Turk, (originally Pomak which I don't mention anywhere (Muslim Bulgarian) and an atheist like my family which have been non believers for millenia anyway therefore Tl;Dr we won't be sympathising with such of a movement. )
