A focused population profile of Azeris from Aghstafa, their northwestern Azerbaijani borderland background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Azeris from Aghstafa are associated with northwestern Azerbaijan near the Georgian border, a corridor linking Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, eastern Anatolia, and the western South Caucasus.
Azerbaijani Turkish is the main language, while Russian and Georgian contact may appear in regional histories. The Aghstafa profile is useful for looking at western Azerbaijani variation close to Georgia and Qazax.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa is useful for comparison with Azeri Georgia, Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax, Azeri Turkey Kars, Turkish Gaziantep, Turkish Kırıkkale, Turkish Ordu, Turkish Ankara Şereflikoçhisar, Turkish Kahramanmaraş, Turkish Kırşehir, and broad Azeri Azerbaijan.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa is Azeri Georgia. Other nearby references include Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax, Azeri Turkey Kars, Turkish Gaziantep, and Azeri Iran West Azerbaijan Takab. This gives the Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Aghstafa Azeri ancestry is best interpreted as western Azerbaijani and South Caucasus borderland, with overlap toward Georgian Azeris, Qazax Azeris, Kars Azeris, and Anatolian Turkish regional references.
The heatmap should emphasize northwestern Azerbaijan, Aghstafa, Qazax, Georgia, Kars, eastern Anatolia, central Anatolia, and the western South Caucasus.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Azeri Georgia. Other nearby references include Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax, Azeri Turkey Kars, Turkish Gaziantep, and Azeri Iran West Azerbaijan Takab.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Azeri Georgia is the closest listed match to the Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa average after removing Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
