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 Igdir, broad Azeri Iran, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa, Azeri Iran Ardabil, Turkish Gaziantep, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, and Turkish Ankara Sereflikochisar.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Azeri Georgia is closest to Azeri Turkey Kars, Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax, broad Azeri Azerbaijan, Azeri Turkey Igdir, broad Azeri Iran, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghstafa, Azeri Iran Ardabil, Turkish Gaziantep, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, and Turkish Ankara Sereflikochisar. The result places Georgian Azeris in a western South Caucasus and Kars/Qazax-facing Azeri comparison space.
| Population | Distance |

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.
Yes. Azeri Turkey Kars is the closest match in this comparison.
Yes. Azeri Azerbaijan Qazax is one of the closest matches.
Both appear nearby: broad Azeri Azerbaijan, Aghstafa, Aghjabadi, broad Azeri Iran, and Ardabil are all close in the comparison.
