A focused population profile of Armenians from Kharberd, their eastern Anatolian Armenian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Kharberd, also known as Harput, are connected to a historic Armenian community of eastern Anatolia near modern Elazig. Kharberd was an important Ottoman Armenian center, tied to schools, churches, trade, rural villages, and later diaspora communities in North America, the Middle East, and Armenia.
Western Armenian was historically important, while Turkish and diaspora languages may also appear in family histories. The current Kharberd reference is very small, so it should be interpreted alongside nearby Armenian Highland and diaspora Armenian pages.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Kharberd is useful for comparison with Armenian Artsakh, broad Armenian, Armenian Yerevan, Armenian Bayazet, Armenian Syunik, Armenian Erzurum, Armenian Lori, Armenian Gesaria, Armenian Ararat, and Armenian Alashkert.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Armenian Kharberd is closest to Armenian Artsakh, broad Armenian, Armenian Yerevan, Armenian Bayazet, Armenian Syunik, Armenian Erzurum, Armenian Lori, Armenian Gesaria, Armenian Ararat, and Armenian Alashkert. The result places Kharberd in an Armenian Highland and eastern Anatolian comparison space.
| Population | Distance |
|---|
The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Armenian Kharberd is best interpreted as an eastern Anatolian Armenian profile, close to Artsakh, Yerevan, Bayazet, Syunik, Erzurum, Lori, Gesaria, Ararat, and Alashkert references.
The heatmap should emphasize Kharberd/Harput, eastern Anatolia, Artsakh, Yerevan, Bayazet, Syunik, Erzurum, Lori, Gesaria/Kayseri, Ararat, Alashkert, and the Armenian Highland.
Yes. Armenian Artsakh is the closest match in this World Genetics comparison.
These are Armenian Highland and eastern Anatolian regional references that overlap with Kharberd in G25 space.
Yes. The current reference has a very small sample size, so larger Armenian regional pages provide important context.
