A focused population profile of Georgian Azeris, their South Caucasus borderland background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Georgian Azeris are Azerbaijani-speaking communities of Georgia, especially associated with Kvemo Kartli and other southeastern Georgian areas near Azerbaijan and Armenia.
Azerbaijani Turkish is the main heritage language, while Georgian and Russian are also important in public life and family histories. Georgian Azeris sit in a western South Caucasus setting close to Qazax, Aghstafa, Kars, and broader Azerbaijani communities.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Georgia is useful for comparison with Azeri Turkey Kars, Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax, broad Azeri Azerbaijan, Azeri Turkey Iğdır, broad Azeri Iran, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa, Azeri Iran Ardabil, Turkish Gaziantep, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, and Turkish Ankara Şereflikoçhisar.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Azeri Georgia is Azeri Turkey Kars. Other nearby references include Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax, Karapapakh Turkey Kars, Azeri Iran West Azerbaijan Takab, and Azeri Iran. This gives the Azeri Georgia profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

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