A focused population profile of Armenians from Amasia, their Anatolian Armenian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Amasia, modern Amasya, come from a historic Armenian community of central-northern Anatolia. The region connected Pontic, central Anatolian, and Armenian Highland worlds through Ottoman urban life, trade, churches, and later diaspora histories.
Western Armenian was historically important for many Amasia Armenians, while Turkish and diaspora languages may also be part of family history. The current reference has a very small sample size, so it should be read carefully alongside other Armenian regional pages.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Amasia is useful for comparison with Armenian Yerevan, Armenian Ararat, Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Urfa, Armenian Gesaria, broad Armenian, Armenian Alashkert, Armenian Erzurum, Armenian Mush, and Armenian Kessab.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Armenian Amasia is Armenian Ararat. Other nearby references include Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Urfa, Armenian Yerevan, and Armenian Gesaria. This gives the Armenian Amasia profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Armenian Amasia is best interpreted as an Anatolian Armenian profile, close to Yerevan, Ararat, Urfa, Gesaria, Alashkert, Erzurum, Mush, Kessab, and Lebanese Armenian references.
The heatmap should emphasize Amasya, central-northern Anatolia, Yerevan, Ararat, Urfa, Gesaria/Kayseri, Alashkert, Erzurum, Mush, Kessab, and Lebanon's Armenian diaspora.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Ararat. Other nearby references include Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Urfa, Armenian Yerevan, and Armenian Gesaria.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Ararat is the closest listed match to the Armenian Amasia average after removing Armenian Amasia itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Amasia G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
