How can i answer this when I haven’t seen any serious studies with Azeri samples or Turkish samples. Dilawer is strict about accuracy that’s why he only uses WGS or 1250k genotyped samples. That’s probably why he doesn’t have any Azeri samples because there aren’t any public WGS Azeris. The 2 WGS or Simmons Turks he had access to where Kayseri so who knows what their background is but they wouldn’t represent all Turks. The kurd wgs he used are 100% kurmanji and you can see for yourself how they compare with various Turkics and steppe-ia
E Eurasian is a loaded subject because it overlaps with AASI that Persians and kurds have more than Turks and Azeris. According to the Mt-Dna paper you looked at kurds had Indian 6.6% Mt-Dna M1a.
I can pretty confidently say that if you don’t include AASI then kurds have more E Asian than Persians but as far as Kurds-Azeris-Turks it’ll come down to the tribe and individual. In W Asia Kurds have one of highest R1a. Just keep open mind and hope there’s more WGS samples in future
I just said using admixture program E Asian will fluctuate depending how close the west asian sources are to tester. If they re really close E Asian goes down. If they’re far E Asian goes up. So if you use various kurds and greeks in a calculator for components E Asian in Turks will go down but if you use Armenians and Georgians it ll go up. That’s why you have to use formal stats
