A focused population profile of Hakkari Assyrians from Turkey, their southeastern Anatolian and northern Mesopotamian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Hakkari Assyrians are Assyrian Christians historically connected to the Hakkari mountains of southeastern Turkey, near the borders of Iraq and Iran. Their history is tied to mountain villages, tribal structures, Syriac Christianity, and later diaspora settlement.
Neo-Aramaic and Classical Syriac are central to Assyrian religious and cultural identity, while Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic, Persian, Russian, English, and other diaspora languages may also appear in family histories.
As a genetic reference, Assyrian Turkey Hakkâri is useful for comparison with Assyrian Iraq, Chaldean Catholic Assyrian Iraq, Mountain Jew Dagestan, Georgian Jew, Armenian Bayazet, Mountain Jew Azerbaijan, Assyrian Armenia, Tur Abdin Assyrian, Urmia Assyrian, and Mandaean Iraq.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Assyrian Turkey Hakkâri is Assyrian Iraq. Other nearby references include Assyrian Chaldean Catholic Iraq, Mountain Jew Dagestan, Georgian Jew, and Assyrian Syriac Orthodox Syria. This gives the Assyrian Turkey Hakkâri profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Hakkari Assyrian ancestry is best interpreted as a mountain Assyrian profile close to Iraqi Assyrian references, Urmia Assyrians, Tur Abdin Assyrians, Mountain Jews, Georgian Jews, Armenians, and Mandaeans.
The heatmap should emphasize Hakkari, southeastern Turkey, northern Iraq, northwestern Iran, Armenia, eastern Anatolia, Dagestan, Azerbaijan, and nearby Assyrian diaspora regions.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Assyrian Iraq. Other nearby references include Assyrian Chaldean Catholic Iraq, Mountain Jew Dagestan, Georgian Jew, and Assyrian Syriac Orthodox Syria.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Assyrian Iraq is the closest listed match to the Assyrian Turkey Hakkâri average after removing Assyrian Turkey Hakkâri itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Assyrian Turkey Hakkâri G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
