they dont look (much) like any option you give . they look most like Georgians and Assyrians , also Cyprus and Turkey Kurds (especially Tunceli ,Muş, Kars , Ardahan) to some extent

I dont think it is possible to rank them with your options and make sense out of it

Maybe not for this specific set, but Armenians do indeed phenotypically overlap with Afghans and Sicilians.

Out of these options:

Afghan
Sicily
Greece
Spain
Saudi

The difference between armenians and levantines is the former look more like they are on an iranic spectrum and not semitic. oddly, so do assyrians.

iranic and semitic are language and to a certain extent cultural things. not much racial . when will you finally understand this ? it is getting tiresome :D

I'd say he does have a point though. Maybe "Iranic" isn't a better word for it, but CHG/Caucasus like with varying degrees of admixture for certain populations. Most Levantines on the other hand have a more eastern mediterranian look to them.

the east med component is strong in armenians (and other west asians) too . but yes the CHG is stronger too than in levantines . still language and ethnic makeup have not MUCH to do with each other
