| Summary: | North central Middle Eastern countries Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria all
have persistent Kurdish regions. Over thousands of years, several ethnicities have immigrated,
settled, or resided in the region, including Turks, Persians, Arabs, Kurds, Armenians, Assyrians,
Chechens, and Azeris. The aim of the present study is to use a set of Y-STR to characterize the
genetic structure of the Kurd, Assyrian, and Armenian population and build a phylogenetic tree among
them. |
