A focused population profile of Tehran Azeris, their Iranian Azeri urban background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Tehran Azeris are Azerbaijani-speaking people and families in Iran's capital whose roots often connect to Iranian Azerbaijan, Ardabil, Zanjan, Tabriz, and wider northwestern Iranian migration into Tehran.
Azerbaijani Turkish and Persian are both important in Tehran Azeri communities. Because Tehran is a major urban center, this profile should be read as an Iranian Azeri urban reference rather than a single village or province.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Iran Tehran is useful for comparison with Khamseh Turkic, Azeri Iran East Azerbaijan Tabriz, Azeri Iran Ardabil, Azeri Iran Zanjan, broad Azeri Iran, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, Azeri Turkey Kars, Kurdish Kurmanji Azerbaijan, Kurdish Iran Kermanshah, Tat Dagestan Nyugdi, and Azeri Turkey Ardahan.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Azeri Iran Tehran is Khamseh Turkic. Other nearby references include Azeri Iran East Azerbaijan Tabriz, Azeri Iran Ardabil, Karapapakh Turkey Iğdır, and Azeri Iran East Azerbaijan Mianeh. This gives the Azeri Iran Tehran profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Tehran Azeri ancestry is best interpreted as urban Iranian Azeri, close to Tabriz, Ardabil, Zanjan, Khamseh Turkic, broad Azeri Iran, and nearby Iranian/Caucasus-adjacent references.
The heatmap should emphasize Tehran, Iranian Azerbaijan, Tabriz, Ardabil, Zanjan, Khamseh Turkic regions, Aghjabadi, Kars, and the broader Iranian Plateau-South Caucasus corridor.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Khamseh Turkic. Other nearby references include Azeri Iran East Azerbaijan Tabriz, Azeri Iran Ardabil, Karapapakh Turkey Iğdır, and Azeri Iran East Azerbaijan Mianeh.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Khamseh Turkic is the closest listed match to the Azeri Iran Tehran average after removing Azeri Iran Tehran itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Azeri Iran Tehran G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
