One of Greek samples from Hovhannisyan 2024 is located in the modern Armenian cloud. I couldn't find any information about him except that Greek DNA used in the paper was from Lazaridis 2014 Nature.
Based on his location on the PCA he is not a Cappadocian Greek. Also he do not give impression to be related to Trabzon Greeks. Most probably he is from Urums from South West of Georgia. Urums settled in Tsalka region of Georgia after Russian and Turkish wars of 19th century.
Urums should not be confused with Urumu tribe of Iron Age. The word Urum is derived from Rome, Roman empire. While the name of Urumu has unknown origin, but could be well related to Aramu.
