A focused population profile of Armenians from Gegharkunik, their Lake Sevan and eastern Armenian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Gegharkunik come from eastern Armenia around Lake Sevan, one of the major highland regions of the Republic of Armenia. The region connects central Armenia, Syunik, Artsakh, Lori, and neighboring Caucasus zones.
Eastern Armenian is the main language. Because the current Gegharkunik reference is very small, it should be interpreted carefully alongside larger Armenian regional references from Syunik, Artsakh, Lori, Ararat, and Yerevan.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Gegharkunik is useful for comparison with Armenian Syunik, Armenian Artsakh, Armenian Iran, Armenian Lori, Armenian Parspatunik, Turkish Erzurum, Turkish Tunceli, broad Armenian, Armenian Van, and Udi.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Armenian Gegharkunik is Armenian Syunik. Other nearby references include Armenian Artsakh, Armenian Lori, Armenian Iran, and Turkish Bayburt. This gives the Armenian Gegharkunik 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 Gegharkunik is best interpreted as a Lake Sevan/eastern Armenian profile, close to Syunik, Artsakh, Iranian Armenian, Lori, Van, Udi, and eastern Anatolian references.
The heatmap should emphasize Gegharkunik, Lake Sevan, Syunik, Artsakh, Lori, Iranian Armenian communities, Van, Erzurum, Tunceli, Udi regions, and the South Caucasus.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Syunik. Other nearby references include Armenian Artsakh, Armenian Lori, Armenian Iran, and Turkish Bayburt.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Syunik is the closest listed match to the Armenian Gegharkunik average after removing Armenian Gegharkunik itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Gegharkunik G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
