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 comparison, the closest non-self match for Armenian Iran is Armenian Artsakh. Other nearby references include Armenian Erzurum, Armenian, Armenian Syunik, and Armenian Yerevan. This gives the Armenian Iran profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Artsakh. Other nearby references include Armenian Erzurum, Armenian, Armenian Syunik, and Armenian Yerevan.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Artsakh is the closest listed match to the Armenian Iran average after removing Armenian Iran itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Iran G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
