 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.

We have an Urum person in our group and his DNA could also be similar to that person. Off course this is a just an assumption that needs further verification.

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.

In the second PCA You can see the main modern Greek cloud which is away from modern Armenians. It is somewhat pulled toward north compared to Mycenaean period. Another Greek samples is almost certainly from Anatolia. Located in the middle of Armenians and Greeks.
