I'm not tranlating literally the article.
I presume you can just use a google translation if ever interested, and not mastering well Eastern Armenian.
Any way, just let me translate the main points :
- There is a study of genetics/DNA mapping of Armenian Genetics Fund, and making the puzzle of Armenia's genetic map.
While for most countries this is not such a hard task, it is very difficult when it comes to Armenia, since more than 90% of the original country is out of modern 2 states (RAA+NKR) boundaries, that is occupied by 4 other states. That is most of the historic homeland is out of reach, and to add to the difficulties, most of the original inhabitants who did survive the Genocide are scattered all over the Globe.
- So basically, they are looking for Armenians in the Diaspora, who have this specific qualification: Individuals, who are certain, that ALL their ancestors, are from the SAME SPECIFIC REGION of Armenia. That is father, mother, their Grandfathers from each side, and so on, are from same region, district of Armenia (mainly Western Armenia or Adrbadagan/Iranian Armenia, or Kilikia.)
Given hasards of life, the earlier generations have bigger chances of being "purely" Zeytuntzi, Sassuntzi, Mshetzi, Hamshentzi, Dikranakertzi, Vanetzi, Mokatzi, Karnetzi, Nakhitchevantzi, Khoyetzi, Artvintzi, Kessaratzi, etc, etc.......
Evidently, there is virtually no survivors, that is first generation remnants.
This means, second generation Diasporans are the most concerned, nad potentially third...
Probability that a fourth generation Diasporan managed to remain 100% Dikranakertzi or Mshetzi must be very small ???
So if ever know anyone having purely specific heritage from any part of Armenia, let him contact this team of researchers.
