A focused population profile of Armenians from Yerevan, their central Armenian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Armenians from Yerevan come from Armenia's capital and largest city, a modern center for Armenians from the Republic of Armenia and diaspora-linked families from many historic regions. Yerevan sits in the Ararat plain and is central to contemporary Armenian national life.
Eastern Armenian is the main language, while Russian, Western Armenian, and diaspora languages can also appear in family histories. Yerevan is one of the most useful central Armenian comparison references.
As a genetic reference, Armenian Yerevan is useful for comparison with Armenian Ararat, broad Armenian, Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Mush, Armenian Erzurum, Armenian Gesaria, Armenian Alashkert, Armenian Van, Armenian Urfa, and Assyrian Armenia.
In the World Genetics modern G25 table, Armenian Yerevan is closest to Armenian Ararat, broad Armenian, Armenian Lebanon, Armenian Mush, Armenian Erzurum, Armenian Gesaria, Armenian Alashkert, Armenian Van, Armenian Urfa, and Assyrian Armenia. The result places Yerevan in a central Armenian and Armenian Highland comparison space.
