Not only him. Everybody is ethnocentric. Persians and other Iranians are getting a heart tack when we show them the evidence that the Kurds are the 'purest' Iranians. Even those from Afghanistan and Tajikistan who are hugely mixed with Turkic people (Uzbeks, Kazakh, Kirgiz, Turkmen etc.) want to compete with the Kurds on who is more 'Iranic', lol.
Those who claim that Andronovo was Indo-Iranian, they have 0 evidence. There is absolutely nothing that shows that direction.
Actually Indo-Iranian are at least as old as the Hittites and the Hittites PREDATE Yamnaya. That means that Indo-Iranian also PREDATE Yamnaya.
Actually I have many evidences that show that I’m (as follower of Ivanov) right big time. When I have seen the DNA of the Hittites I was very exited. Because those Hittites were J2a folks and had no Yamnaya ancestry.
Hittites were Anatolian Indo-Europeans. Anatolian IEans were closely related to Indo-Iranians.
According to Graeco-Aryan thypthsesi, proto-Hellenic, proto-Hittite and proto-Indo-Iranian had the same source. Since we have evidence tha the Hitties were form West Asia, we can easly assume that Indo-Iranian was not far from it.
When I saw the results from BMAC I knew for 1000% that Ivanov was right. It was the last nail into the coffin of the Steppists.
There is 0 evidence that early Andronovo was Indo-Iranian, but we have got many evidences that BMAC was 'Iranic'. BMAC was studied by many scholar and all the MAJOR scholars on BMAC, like Viktor Sarianidi, agree that BMAC was related to the Iranic people.
BMAC DNA was fully Aryan/Iranic and those BMAC Aryans belonged to many different haplogroups like hg. E, G, J2, L, R, T
