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, the closest non-self match for Armenian Tigranakert (Diyarbakır) is Assyrian Syriac Orthodox/Catholic Iraq. Other nearby references include Armenian Gurin, Assyrian Chaldean Catholic Iraq, Armenian Aintab, and Armenian Kessab. This gives the Armenian Tigranakert (Diyarbakır) 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 Tigranakert is best interpreted as a southeastern Anatolian/northern Mesopotamian Armenian profile, close to western Armenian and nearby Assyrian Christian references.
The heatmap should emphasize Diyarbakir/Tigranakert, Tur Abdin, northern Mesopotamia, Gurin, Aintab, Kessab, Mush, Sebastia, Lebanon's Armenian diaspora, and Assyrian regional communities.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Assyrian Syriac Orthodox/Catholic Iraq. Other nearby references include Armenian Gurin, Assyrian Chaldean Catholic Iraq, Armenian Aintab, and Armenian Kessab.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Assyrian Syriac Orthodox/Catholic Iraq is the closest listed match to the Armenian Tigranakert (Diyarbakır) average after removing Armenian Tigranakert (Diyarbakır) itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Armenian Tigranakert (Diyarbakır) G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
