Do Greeks have more historic relationship with ancient Iraq or ancient Iceland?

Greeks are Mediteranean/Balkan/Middle Eastern people. A tiny Nordic admixure might be there , but its insignificant. Iraqis are Semetic/Mesopotamean and even though Greeks are not exactly the same, we are closer to them than to the Icelanders.

North-Korea.

What kind of question is this, the ancient Greeks had almost no contact or exchanges with the Nordics or Northern Europeans, not even the Romans knew who lived in the regions above Germany or Scotland

Does Azerbaijan share more with China or the Democratic Republic of Congo?

The Varangian guards were the personal guards of the Byzantine emperors for many centuries, this elite unit was composed by Vikings, Norsemen, Danes, Saxons, Rus. I don't remember any particular relation between Greeks and ancient Mesopotamia, except when Alexander invaded the Persian empire, scattering dozens of Greek colonies named Alexandria from Egypt to Hindu Kush.

They have a relation with Mesopotamian civilizations.
