Classify Armenian fedayis

I do agree that most Armenians are not Armenoid. And that they should've used a different term for the so-called "Armenoid" look. Because people who are "Armenoid" tend to be from the Near East and surrounds rather than the Caucasus. So "Armenoid" should be called "Levantid" or something similar.

I'd say the men in OP are Anatolid, but it's hard to tell. The fully bearded man looks Alpine Med.

Funny how these so-called Armenoid plates are mostly represented by non-Armenians who as Tigranes alluded to, have extreme and damn near deformed phenotypes.

Just off-topic question to my Armenians forum-fellows. Would she count as modern fedayi?

I'd consider her to be very atypical, because her Slavic Vibe is overdone and untypical. If she showed up at an Armenian Orthodox Sunday Service, then my first guess would be that she's married to an Armenian Guy. If she claimed to be Armenian, then I'd think it likely that she's a half blood Armenian.

* By the way, there's a noticeable minority community of Russians in Armenia.

Dont think she looks like a typical slav(I'm assuming you mean east slavic)

Most of them are in iranid-anadolid-east Med range.

Only the last idiot can use this person for anthropology!

One should not be a doctor to understand that the guy on the picture with his emaciated exhausted face, extreme thinness and sharpened cheekbones is obviously ill and his bone tissue and scull are possibly deformed because of some ilness. There are lot of that kind ilnesses which can completely deform bone structure of sick people.

As a teenager, I had a family heirloom photograph of some 30 or 40 Armenian Fedayeen, whom posed together in a wooded area. As usual, they wore the bullet belts, and a few of them carried flags. Unfortunately, the photograph was lost, probably forever.

Armenian Fedayeen had a wide variety of facial appearances, also some were taller while others were shorter. Their endurance and physical condition was unbeatable; well armed, they observed strict protocols, and their discipline met high standards, even better than that of the Ottoman Military.

They all have cool looking mustaches, rofl.

Armenian Eyes are known for their dark, deep, piercing effect, and that's often the case with Fedayeen whom posed in the century old photographs, and those that preceded the century old genocide. Some of them sported mustaches.
