What meta-ethnicity are Armenians?

[Mingle]

Yes, Armenians are the best proxy however for pre-Turkic Anatolia

"Meta-ethnicity" is not some purely genetic term. They're not Anatolian so calling them that is assigning them the wrong identity.

They are Indo-Europeans, who stand between Greeks and Indo-Aryans with Hurrito-Urartian and Kartvelian substratum.

We are just, Armenians. 'Urartu' is simply the Assyrian toponym for 'Ararat'. When you say "Urartian", you're essentially saying 'Araratian'

Really? I've never heard of this Araratian language. If that so-called language was simply a dialect of the Armenian language then that would be believable. Otherwise, without proof, it seems like a bunch of hocus pocus and falls perfectly in line with the 'anything-but-Armenian' paradigm that's being pushed in mainstream academia.

Ties with Northeastern Caucasian languages. What's next, they'll claim that Chechens and Dags are native to the Armenian Highlands? Come on man, get me some real sources. It's easy to fabricate history so I wouldn't be surprised if some years down the line they'll claim that we descended from Jupiter.

Armenians are Indo-Europeans who migrated from Balkans to the West Anatolia and then to the East.
