A focused population profile of Karabakh Azeris, their South Caucasus borderland background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Karabakh Azeris are associated with Karabakh and nearby areas of Azerbaijan, a historically complex South Caucasus region shaped by Azeri, Armenian, Kurdish, Iranian, and Caucasus borderland histories.
Azerbaijani Turkish is the main heritage language, while Russian and other regional languages may appear in family histories. The Karabakh profile is especially useful for seeing overlap between Azerbaijani, eastern Anatolian, and Kurdish-related references.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Azerbaijan Karabakh is useful for comparison with Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Malatya, Azeri Azerbaijan Nakhchivan, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Çorum, Kurdish Kurmanji Syria Al-Hasakah, Kurdish Kurmanji Azerbaijan, Kurdish Kurmanji Syria Afrin, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, Azeri Turkey Ardahan, Kurdish Zaza Erzincan, and Azeri Iran Zanjan.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Azeri Azerbaijan Karabakh is Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Malatya. Other nearby references include Azeri Azerbaijan Nakhchivan, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Çorum, Kurdish Kurmanji Syria Al-Hasakah, and Kurdish Kurmanji Azerbaijan. This gives the Azeri Azerbaijan Karabakh profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Karabakh Azeri ancestry is best interpreted as South Caucasus and West Asian, with overlap toward Nakhchivan Azeris, Aghjabadi Azeris, Iranian Azeris, and several Kurmanji Kurdish references from eastern Anatolia and Syria.
The heatmap should emphasize Karabakh, Azerbaijan, Nakhchivan, eastern Turkey, northern Syria Kurdish regions, Iranian Azerbaijan, Ardahan, Malatya, and the South Caucasus.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Malatya. Other nearby references include Azeri Azerbaijan Nakhchivan, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Çorum, Kurdish Kurmanji Syria Al-Hasakah, and Kurdish Kurmanji Azerbaijan.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Kurdish Kurmanji Turkey Malatya is the closest listed match to the Azeri Azerbaijan Karabakh average after removing Azeri Azerbaijan Karabakh itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Azeri Azerbaijan Karabakh G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
