A focused population profile of Qazax Azeris, their northwestern Azerbaijani borderland background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Qazax Azeris are associated with northwestern Azerbaijan near the Georgian and Armenian borderlands. The area lies along historic routes connecting the South Caucasus with eastern Anatolia and the Kura valley.
Azerbaijani Turkish is the main language, while Russian and neighboring Caucasus languages may appear in family histories. Qazax is useful as a western Azerbaijani reference close to Georgian Azeri, Aghstafa, and Kars-linked populations.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax is useful for comparison with Azeri Georgia, Azeri Turkey Kars, Turkish Gaziantep, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa, Turkish Ankara Sereflikochisar, broad Azeri Azerbaijan, Turkish Kahramanmaras, Turkish Adiyaman, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, and broad Azeri Iran.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax is closest to Azeri Georgia, Azeri Turkey Kars, Turkish Gaziantep, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa, Turkish Ankara Sereflikochisar, broad Azeri Azerbaijan, Turkish Kahramanmaras, Turkish Adiyaman, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, and Turkish Kirikkale.
