A focused population profile of Armenians from Gurin, their central-eastern Anatolian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Gurin, modern Gurun, are connected to a historic Armenian community of central-eastern Anatolia between Sebastia/Sivas, Malatya, Cappadocia, and the Armenian Highland. Gurin Armenian history belongs to the wider Ottoman Armenian and diaspora story.
Western Armenian was historically central, while Turkish and diaspora languages may also appear in family histories. The current reference has a small sample size and should be read alongside nearby central/eastern Anatolian Armenian pages.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Gurin is useful for comparison with Armenian Tigranakert Diyarbakir, Georgian Meskhian, Armenian Mush, Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Aintab, Armenian Kessab, Armenian Artvin, Armenian Erzurum, Assyrian Armenia, and Armenian Van.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Armenian Gurin is Armenian Tigranakert (Diyarbakır). Other nearby references include Georgian Meskhian Catholic, Armenian Mush, Armenian Lebanon, and Armenian Aintab. This gives the Armenian Gurin 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 Gurin is best interpreted as a central-eastern Anatolian Armenian profile, close to Tigranakert, Mush, Aintab, Kessab, Artvin, Erzurum, Van, Lebanese Armenian, Assyrian Armenia, and Georgian Meskhian references.
The heatmap should emphasize Gurin/Gurun, central-eastern Anatolia, Tigranakert/Diyarbakir, Mush, Aintab, Kessab, Artvin, Erzurum, Van, Lebanon, and Georgia-adjacent Caucasus regions.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Tigranakert (Diyarbakır). Other nearby references include Georgian Meskhian Catholic, Armenian Mush, Armenian Lebanon, and Armenian Aintab.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Tigranakert (Diyarbakır) is the closest listed match to the Armenian Gurin average after removing Armenian Gurin itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Gurin G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
