A focused population profile of Iranian Armenians, their South Caucasus and Iranian Armenian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Iranian Armenians are Armenians with roots in Iran, including historic communities in Isfahan/New Julfa, Tehran, Tabriz, Urmia, and other regions. Their history connects the South Caucasus, Safavid resettlement, trade, churches, urban life, and modern Armenian diaspora networks.
Armenian and Persian are both important in Iranian Armenian life, with additional diaspora languages depending on migration history. This reference is especially useful for eastern Armenian and South Caucasus comparison.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Iran is useful for comparison with Armenian Artsakh, Armenian Syunik, Armenian Lori, broad Armenian, Armenian Erzurum, Armenian Parspatunik, Armenian Gesaria, Armenian Yerevan, Armenian Van, and Armenian Ararat.
In the World Genetics modern G25 table, Armenian Iran is closest to Armenian Artsakh, Armenian Syunik, Armenian Lori, broad Armenian, Armenian Erzurum, Armenian Parspatunik, Armenian Gesaria, Armenian Yerevan, Armenian Van, and Armenian Ararat. The result places Iranian Armenians in an eastern Armenian and South Caucasus Armenian comparison space.
| Population | Distance |

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Iranian Armenian is best interpreted as an eastern Armenian/South Caucasus profile, close to Artsakh, Syunik, Lori, Erzurum, Parspatunik, Gesaria, Yerevan, Van, and Ararat references.
The heatmap should emphasize Iranian Armenian communities, Isfahan/New Julfa, Tehran, Tabriz, Artsakh, Syunik, Lori, Yerevan, Ararat, Van, Erzurum, and the South Caucasus.
Yes. Armenian Artsakh and Armenian Syunik are the two closest matches in this comparison.
This profile is Armenian and clusters closest with Armenian regional references, not broad Persian averages.
Armenian regional references across the Armenian Highland and diaspora often overlap strongly in G25 space.
