Proto-Bulgars were an Irano-Caucasian people(?)

My guess is a combination of more Byzantine + Bulgar genes.
But I think Deliorman Turks have more Bulgar genetics than anyone in Bulgaria.
Bulgarians are very low in east-Asian+Siberian % and it's a classic marker of Turkic people.

If Bulgars were mostly at Northeast region of Bulgaria, somewhere near Silistra, then Bulgarian refugees from this region who moved to Ukraine, probably are the most Bulgar Bulgarians in this case, because they did not mix with Western Bulgarians who came due to Communism to to east Bulgaria, like Kaspias said

Are you sure those Scythians were pure Slavs? Seems way too much

I'm not a genetist nor a antropologist, i just try to follow the "spoilers" from that bulgarian study. So, i don't who were those gentlemen.

West Asian in southern Europe has little to do with steppe, it came from post-BA Anatolia and it peaks in Greece and med Islands/south Italy.

By the way, Thracian and Dacian DNA has lots of "west-med" Sardinian-like DNA and lacks west-Asian.

Do you know which components they use at the final part of the video? Eastern-Mediterranean,European,North african etc?

"1- Eastern Bulgaria, where Proto-Bulgars settled, was a Turkish region before the Russo-Turkish War. The Bulgars who had lived there mixed with Turks. Most of the Bulgarians who live in the East now came from the West during Communism."- Kaspias said. I think he means Bulgarians and Turks, who lived in this region were admixed with Bulgars, but now there are not Bulgarians in Bulgaria, who has, that high Bulgar admix, that inhabitants of this region had before because of mixing with Bulgarians of other regions. Refugees to Russian Empire from this region of Bulgaria can save this admix, because mixed with each other in isolation in other country
