A focused population profile of Azeris from Aghjabadi, their central Azerbaijani background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Azeris from Aghjabadi are associated with central Azerbaijan, near the Karabakh lowlands and the Kura-Aras basin. The region connects the South Caucasus, Iranian Azerbaijan, eastern Anatolia, and the Caspian-facing plains.
Azerbaijani Turkish is the main language, while Russian and regional Caucasus languages may appear in wider family histories. This profile is useful for understanding central Azerbaijani genetic positioning rather than treating all Azeri regions as identical.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi is useful for comparison with Azeri Iran Ardabil, broad Azeri Iran, Kurdish Kurmanji Azerbaijan, Azeri Iran Zanjan, Azeri Turkey Kars, Azeri Turkey Ardahan, Khamseh Turkic, Azeri Iran East Azerbaijan Tabriz, Azeri Azerbaijan Karabakh, and Turkish Igdir.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi is closest to Azeri Iran Ardabil, broad Azeri Iran, Kurdish Kurmanji Azerbaijan, Azeri Iran Zanjan, Azeri Turkey Kars, Azeri Turkey Ardahan, Khamseh Turkic, Azeri Iran East Azerbaijan Tabriz, Azeri Azerbaijan Karabakh, and Turkish Igdir.
