A focused population profile of Azeris from Armenia, their South Caucasus and eastern Anatolian background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Azeris from Armenia are connected to the historic Azerbaijani-speaking communities of the South Caucasus, especially areas that were once home to Azeri populations before twentieth-century displacement and migration.
Azerbaijani Turkish is the main heritage language, while Russian, Armenian, Turkish, and diaspora languages may also appear depending on family history. This profile sits in a borderland between the South Caucasus, eastern Anatolia, Azerbaijan, and Kurdish-speaking regions.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Armenia is useful for comparison with Turkish Ardahan, Turkish Iğdır, Azeri Azerbaijan Gabala, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Kayseri, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Malatya, Azeri Turkey Ardahan, Azeri Azerbaijan Nakhchivan, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, broad Azeri Azerbaijan, and Shabak Iraq.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Azeri Armenia is Turkish Iğdır. Other nearby references include Azeri Azerbaijan Gabala, Karapapakh Turkey Ardahan, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, and Turkish Ardahan. This gives the Azeri Armenia 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 Azeri ancestry is best interpreted through South Caucasus, eastern Anatolian, Azeri, Turkish, and Kurdish-adjacent references, reflecting a borderland position rather than a single modern state label.
The heatmap should emphasize Armenia, Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan, Ardahan, Igdir, eastern Turkey, the South Caucasus, and nearby Kurdish and Azeri-speaking regions.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Turkish Iğdır. Other nearby references include Azeri Azerbaijan Gabala, Karapapakh Turkey Ardahan, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, and Turkish Ardahan.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Turkish Iğdır is the closest listed match to the Azeri Armenia average after removing Azeri Armenia itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Azeri Armenia G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
