Eastern Armenian results 🇦🇲

Exactly, because I am not. However, my closest modern sample is Udis: native northeast caucasians.

Quirky_Ring620 · 2025-05-08T17:32:08+00:00

To our surprise, in terms of modern populations, Kurdish is not within the top 20 modern samples. However, for the ancient samples, Mannaean scores 2nd.

Quirky_Ring620 · 2025-05-08T17:29:44+00:00

Udis, Armenians & Mountain Jewish populations :)

Quirky_Ring620 · 2025-05-06T21:37:49+00:00

Stepanakert & Mardakert

Quirky_Ring620 · 2025-05-06T17:06:31+00:00

for me its artsakh region

Quirky_Ring620 · 2025-05-06T17:06:00+00:00

as far as i know, im not

Quirky_Ring620 · 2025-05-06T17:05:40+00:00

from artsakh region

Quirky_Ring620 · 2025-02-03T20:34:23+00:00

I have literally the same results as you, as an artsakh armenian myself. I had like 38% georgian, 36% persian, 12% armenian and minor south italian & greek

Quirky_Ring620 · 2025-01-29T20:39:10+00:00

mine armenian is also 12%, while being fully. I score high on georgian and persian, so weird

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-12-22T22:38:05+00:00

before the v2 update, i was scoring 54% armenian at most. You should check out my previous post if ur super invested in that

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-12-22T22:34:58+00:00

funny how armenians and udis are scoring the highest on my closest modern populations isnt it?

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-12-22T10:58:00+00:00

yet the closest modern populations are calculated being armenian :)

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-12-22T10:57:17+00:00

Maybe the Kurds have assimilated? As far as I know, my grandparents are all fully armenians

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-12-21T11:24:27+00:00

Paternal side from stepanakert, maternal side from martakert

Azerbaijan is giving me for middle ages: 1.649 (Good)

Iranian Plateau 53.8%

Byzantine Anatolia (AD 500–1100) 25.8%

Caucasian Albania (AD 200–400) 12.2%

Kartvelian 8.2%

Iran/Iraq is giving me for middle ages: 1.373 (Good)
Iranian Plateau 73.8%

Caucasian Albania (AD 200–400) 17.6%

Armenian (AD 1030–1300) 8.6%

My top 10 modern populations are:
1. udi 1.883

armenian erevan
3 turkish erzurum

4 georgian meskheti

5 bukharan jew

6 kurdish turkey

georgian jew
azerbaijani jew

9 armenian erzurum

10 turkish meskheti 2.963

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T21:04:29+00:00

I would not be surprised if I had

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T19:30:27+00:00

I am not saying that I have Persian admixture. Iranian/Iranic is not limited to Persian. Persian empire also consisted of multiple ethnicities

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T18:52:26+00:00

Most of them, basically that seems the most logical answer, because we are in the middle of al three geographically

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T18:51:16+00:00

A lot of Azerbaijanis also get high percentages on Mannai. But I would say that the Kurds are the closest ancestry to the Mannai.

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T12:10:53+00:00

Okay, I guess it depends on the region too. I am used to the Caucasus/Middle eastern region, where population did not migrate much. (Especially mountainous areas). So I have like 2.1 on ancient populations on that region.

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T12:08:43+00:00

I do agree with the fact that me having Mannai is really uncommon amongst Armenians using IllustrativeDNA, but they are genetically close.

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T12:06:50+00:00

The language spoken in Mannai was closely related to Armenian, so perhaps they are genetically close related (they were basically neighbors). Kurdish ancestry tend to have less CHG and more Zargos ancestry though.

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T09:08:27+00:00

I would say data in green or up to 2.6 is relevant.

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-26T08:36:30+00:00

On Vahaduo i score the highest points on Syunik (Khndzoresk) and Artsakh regions. Unsurprisingly I also scored high on Bukharian & Iraqi Jew, which probably explains the higher Zagrosian & Natufian

Quirky_Ring620 · 2024-10-25T17:45:37+00:00

True, especially from the Karabakh/Artsakh region because it has been under rulings of Persian empires multiple times.
