No ancestry from Europe or Balkanes. We also note that samples from ancient Eastern Armenia do not represent all ancestry of Armenians which is quite normal because Armenians have ancestry from all parts of Armenian Highlands.

Now if You are obsessed by Balkanian theory. You think Herodotus was telling the truth of last instance and You want at all cost prove that migration from Balkanes occured what You can do? You remove Arslantepe and see what You get.

Wow mass migration of Sea people that are represented here by Ashkelon IA1 samples. You see how easily can be fabricated a mass migration of Sea People like stuff. You just need to ignore that Western Armenia existed, Urarteans, Shubrians, Isuwians existed, samples from ancient Arslantepe are already published. That modern Armenia do not represent whole Armenia. Etc etc.

PS This post is not about Armenian geneticians but is about those people who are planning to bring back the Balkanian theory.
