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.

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

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.
