A focused population profile of Armenians from Artsakh, their eastern Armenian and South Caucasus background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Artsakh, also known as Karabakh, come from a historically Armenian region in the South Caucasus. Artsakh identity is connected to mountain villages, monasteries, eastern Armenian dialects, the Karabakh highlands, and modern Armenian history.
Armenian is the main language, with regional Artsakh/Karabakh speech traditions. This reference is especially useful for comparing eastern Armenian and South Caucasus Armenian profiles with Syunik, Lori, Iranian Armenian, Erzurum, Yerevan, and Van-related references.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Artsakh is useful for comparison with Armenian Syunik, Armenian Lori, Armenian Iran, Armenian Erzurum, broad Armenian, Armenian Kharberd, Armenian Yerevan, Armenian Van, Armenian Gesaria, and Armenian Ararat.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Armenian Artsakh is Armenian Iran. Other nearby references include Armenian Syunik, Armenian Lori, Armenian Erzurum, and Armenian. This gives the Armenian Artsakh 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 Artsakh is best interpreted as an eastern Armenian/South Caucasus profile, close to Syunik, Lori, Iranian Armenian, Erzurum, Yerevan, Van, Gesaria, Ararat, and broad Armenian references.
The heatmap should emphasize Artsakh/Karabakh, Syunik, Lori, Armenia, Iranian Armenian communities, Erzurum, Van, Yerevan, Gesaria, Ararat, and the South Caucasus.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Iran. Other nearby references include Armenian Syunik, Armenian Lori, Armenian Erzurum, and Armenian.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Iran is the closest listed match to the Armenian Artsakh average after removing Armenian Artsakh itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Artsakh G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
