A focused population profile of Armenians from Tigranakert/Diyarbakir, their northern Mesopotamian Armenian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Tigranakert, modern Diyarbakir, come from a historic Armenian and northern Mesopotamian city on the upper Tigris. The region sits close to Armenian, Assyrian/Syriac, Kurdish, Arab, and Turkish historical communities.
Western Armenian was historically important, while Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, and diaspora languages may also appear in family histories. This reference is useful for comparing Armenian profiles from northern Mesopotamia and southeastern Anatolia.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Tigranakert is useful for comparison with Assyrian Syriac Orthodox/Catholic Iraq, Armenian Gurin, Assyrian Chaldean Catholic Iraq, Armenian Aintab, Armenian Kessab, Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Mush, Armenian Sebastia, Assyrian Tur Abdin, and Assyrian Armenia.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Armenian Tigranakert is closest to Assyrian Syriac Orthodox/Catholic Iraq, Armenian Gurin, Assyrian Chaldean Catholic Iraq, Armenian Aintab, Armenian Kessab, Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Mush, Armenian Sebastia, Assyrian Syriac Orthodox Turkey Tur Abdin, and Assyrian Armenia. The result places Tigranakert in a northern Mesopotamian Armenian and Assyrian-adjacent comparison space.
