A focused population profile of Shamkir Azeris, their western Azerbaijani background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Shamkir Azeris are associated with western Azerbaijan, in the Kura basin between Ganja, Qazax, Aghstafa, Georgia, and the wider South Caucasus corridor.
Azerbaijani Turkish is the main language, while Russian and neighboring Caucasus languages may appear in wider regional contexts. Shamkir sits in a western Azerbaijani setting that links local Azeri communities with Georgian Azeris, eastern Anatolia, and Anatolian Turkish references.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Azerbaijan Shamkir is useful for comparison with Turkish Adana, Azeri Georgia, Turkish Afyonkarahisar Northeast, Turkish Hatay, Turkish Kırşehir, Turkish Kırıkkale, Azeri Turkey Iğdır, Turkish İzmir Çepni, Turkish Ordu, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa, Turkish Ankara Şereflikoçhisar, and Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Azeri Azerbaijan Shamkir is Azeri Georgia. Other nearby references include Turkish Adana, Turkish Afyonkarahisar Northeast, Turkish Kırşehir, and Turkish Hatay. This gives the Azeri Azerbaijan Shamkir profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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