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, the closest non-self match for Armenian Kharberd is Armenian Lebanon. Other nearby references include Armenian, Armenian Chapaghjur, Armenian Havav, and Armenian Mamiki. This gives the Armenian Kharberd 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 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.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Armenian Lebanon. Other nearby references include Armenian, Armenian Chapaghjur, Armenian Havav, and Armenian Mamiki.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Armenian Lebanon is the closest listed match to the Armenian Kharberd average after removing Armenian Kharberd itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Kharberd G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
