 A chart where one can see what is the difference between Nakh ( Chechen and Ingush ) and other Daghestani people.

They have lower Steppe than Daghestani !

They have higher CHG than Daghestani.

And more interestingly they have Anatolian Neo ancestry which Daghestani lack ( except Udins who are a special case )

So in sum Nakh people have extra ancestry from a Western and Southern region than their homeland which makes very inlikely any influx from Nakhichevan and Urmia region. Because an influx from there wouldn't increase the CHG.

Interestingly this fits well into Strabo's recount about the origins of Gargareans from Pontic region. Also the high level of J2-CTS900 which is the result of founder effects point toward a western region. Daghestani people for example do not have CTS900. It must be noted that I don't mean the origin of Nakh languages. Because they can be local but the extra non Nakh migrants could have been assimilated into locals creating the Proto - Nakh community that expanded 2000 years ago.
