How much E. Asiatic DNA do Kurds have according to you?

Dunno exactly that’s why I was hoping someone would make a k3 calculator with SSA ENF and E Asian but I guess I have to learn Admixture program if no one builds it. It should be more than Eurasia k3 calculator because that one uses Caucasian and European w Eurasian references and those references have some old E Eurasian
K3 is not accurate.
I know that you have got your ideas from here: https://eurasiandna.com/impact-of-th...an-demography/
And if we believe that guy, Kurds can be modeled as this.

But, then again, my question will be how much Eastern Asian Mongoloid DNA did proto-Turkic people have? If proto-Tukic XiongNu were 100% Mongoloid, then average of Kurds can be modelled around 17% East Eurasian.
But this model only works if there were absolutely no other migrations into Kurdistan than the proto-Turkic one. But that doesn't make any sense at all. Since there was no proto-Turkic migration into Kurdistan at the first place. And the Oghuz Turks and Seljuks were not proto-Turkic.
Nevertheless, no matter what, Kurds are still at least for about 85% native to Kurdistan. We are West Asian people and our DNA is West Asian/Eurasian in nature.
According to him, some E Eurasian came from Saka and some came from Turkic people. But somehow he never combined these 2 models. I'm sure that those proto-Turkic tribes had also EHG + Neo_Iran auDNA

And this models are very limited, since Haji-Firuz-Chl also mixed with the Copper Age Armenians. Kurds have a lot Copper Age Armenian auDNA since the Iron Age.
None of this calculators are accurate and useful since he didn't use Copper Age Armenian auDNA here.
I think the best model for Kurds should be Copper Age Iranians (Haji-Firuz-Chl) + Copper Age Armenians + some Saka/Scythians + some Turkic (Seljuks) + some Semitic (Chaldean, Assyrian, Arabic).
Overall with Saka and Turkic, the Eastern Eurasian/Mongoloid auDNA may not even exceed the 10% line. With other words: Kurds are still overwhelming West Asian people and our culture and language are native to Kurdistan.
