A focused population profile of Armenians from Gardman, their eastern Armenian and South Caucasus background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Gardman are connected to the historic Gardman/Utik region of the eastern Armenian world and the South Caucasus. The area sits near Armenian, Caucasus Albanian, Udi, Azerbaijani, Georgian, and broader Caucasus histories.
Armenian is the main identity language in the Armenian context, while regional histories connect Gardman with eastern Armenian and South Caucasus communities. The reference has a very small sample size and should be interpreted with nearby Armenian regional pages.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Gardman is useful for comparison with Armenian Iran, Armenian Parspatunik, Armenian Syunik, Armenian Gegharkunik, Armenian Lori, Turkish Erzurum, Armenian Gesaria, Armenian Artsakh, broad Armenian, and Turkish Bayburt.
In the World Genetics modern G25 table, Armenian Gardman is closest to Armenian Iran, Armenian Parspatunik, Armenian Syunik, Armenian Gegharkunik, Armenian Lori, Turkish Erzurum, Armenian Gesaria, Armenian Artsakh, broad Armenian, and Turkish Bayburt.

Yes. Armenian Iran and Armenian Syunik are among the closest matches.
Eastern Anatolian references can overlap with Armenian Highland and South Caucasus Armenian profiles in G25 space.
Yes. The current reference has a very small sample size, so it is best read alongside Artsakh, Syunik, Gegharkunik, Lori, and Iranian Armenian pages.
