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 Igdir, 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, Azeri Armenia is closest to Turkish Ardahan, Turkish Igdir, Azeri Azerbaijan Gabala, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Kayseri, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Malatya, Azeri Turkey Ardahan, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Kahramanmaras, Azeri Azerbaijan Nakhchivan, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, and broad Azeri Azerbaijan. The result places Armenian Azeris in a South Caucasus and eastern Anatolian comparison zone.

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.
Yes. Azeri Azerbaijan Gabala, Nakhchivan, Aghjabadi, and broad Azeri Azerbaijan are all close matches.
Ardahan and Igdir sit near the South Caucasus-eastern Anatolian borderlands and share regional ancestry with nearby Azeri communities.
Some Kurdish Kurmanji references from eastern Turkey overlap genetically with nearby South Caucasus and eastern Anatolian populations.
