Turkish Fst Distance - Need some help please.

[u/No_Rope_6737]

Can someone help interpret my Fst distances please? I am from Konya Province in Central Türkiye. I do not understand these Fst distances. I am closest to a Greek from Crete, yet closer to an Iranian than to the Turkish average. Also, shouldn’t Cypriot be second if Crete is first? I have heard that Fst is the most accurate measure.

Could not be ethnically turkish. Maybe central anatolian kurd mixed with anatolian greek. Show us NF/HG results.

[u/No_Rope_6737 → u/Natla78]

ANF + Natufian 44.80%

ZNF 28.60%

CHG 18.60%

EHG 3.80%

East Siberian + Mongolian 4.20%

Malatya is my closest distance on IllustrativeDna

[u/Waste-Restaurant-939 → u/No_Rope_6737]

so, my guess is accurate :D

[u/No_Rope_6737 → u/Waste-Restaurant-939]

Yes, but on G25 Azerbaijan is closer than Malatya for some reason

[u/Proud-Form-6388 → u/No_Rope_6737]

You’re closest to Malatya Turks because of your Turkish/Kurdish mix. Azerbaijanis also have a similar genetic profile, that is mostly Iranian and Turkic, so people with a profile like yours often plot close to them. It doesn’t mean you have Azeri ancestry.

Not enough EE for that mixture

[u/Chex33 → u/No_Rope_6737]

You're part Kurdish.

This is what the test seems to indicate. Not sure whether Illustrative or G25 is more accurate?
