A focused population profile of Igdir Azeris from Turkey, their northeastern Anatolian and South Caucasus borderland background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Igdir Azeris are Azerbaijani-speaking communities of Igdir in northeastern Turkey, near Armenia, Nakhchivan, Iran, and the Aras valley. The region is one of the clearest Azeri-speaking areas of Turkey.
Azerbaijani Turkish and Turkish are important languages, while Armenian, Kurdish, Persian, Russian, and other regional contacts may appear in borderland histories. Igdir connects northeastern Anatolia directly with the South Caucasus and Iranian Azerbaijan.
As a genetic reference, Azeri Turkey Iğdır is useful for comparison with Azeri Iran Ardabil, Azeri Turkey Kars, broad Azeri Iran, broad Azeri Azerbaijan, Azeri Turkey Ardahan, Azeri Georgia, Azeri Azerbaijan Aghjabadi, Azeri Iran Zanjan, Khamseh Turkic, Azeri Iran Tehran, Azeri Iran West Azerbaijan Maku, and Turkish Iğdır.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Azeri Turkey Iğdır is Azeri Iran. Other nearby references include Azeri Iran Ardabil, Azeri Azerbaijan, Azeri Turkey Kars, and Karapapakh Turkey Kars. This gives the Azeri Turkey Iğdır profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestry breakdown gives deeper component proportions, while closest matches show modern similarity. Igdir Azeri ancestry is best interpreted as northeastern Anatolian and South Caucasus Azeri, close to Ardabil, Kars, Ardahan, Georgian Azeris, Aghjabadi, Zanjan, broad Azeri Iran, and broad Azeri Azerbaijan.
The heatmap should emphasize Igdir, Kars, Ardahan, northeastern Turkey, Armenia, Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan, Ardabil, Zanjan, Georgia, and the Aras valley.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Azeri Iran. Other nearby references include Azeri Iran Ardabil, Azeri Azerbaijan, Azeri Turkey Kars, and Karapapakh Turkey Kars.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Azeri Iran is the closest listed match to the Azeri Turkey Iğdır average after removing Azeri Turkey Iğdır itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Azeri Turkey Iğdır G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
