There was a disruption of Minoan civilization about 2000 BC, +/-. If you compair the Phaistos stampings to the Luuvian glyphs there are some similarities.

The Minoans traded all over the Eastern Med, an import probably, not at all like Linear A.

Yeah, I agree, an Anatolia origin. Linear A also seems to not be Greek, despite efforts to ram-jam it into that interpretation. Minoan trade went far afield; Minoan art has been found in Egypt, and Egyptian stuff on Crete. Later on, the Mycenaeans took over trade routes from the Minoans.
