Here are my mother’s results !! She had 3 Pontic Greek grandparents and 1 Armenian. It seems pontic Greeks are a mix of Anatolians, South Caucasians and Ionian Greeks. I also have a question, does those regions in Georgia have a big Armenian population, since i don’t have any known Georgian relative. Also when i use the global model in illustrative dna it gives me 1% South East asian, 0,4% Papuan and 0,4% Sub-saharan. The sub-saharan i can understand, since ottoman empire brought slaves from Africa, but the south east asian and papuan I don’t. Although if i select west asian region and anatolian turks and greeks those results turn to 1,2% yellow river and 1% Central Steppe and 0,8% Mannaean which makes more sense.
Javkhat or whatever its called has a huge armenian population its the region thar was particularly deeply colored for you.
About Africa and South East Asia- no idea that is totally unusual

Javakhk is the highlighted place in Georgia, and yes it has had a sizable Armenian population for a long time.
In the Trabzon area, might be Hemshin that is highlighted. It is the region of Hemshin Armenians, most who still live there are islamified today, speaking their own dialect of Armenian, while those who escaped live in Abkhazia, Georgia, and I think Uzbekistan.
Tunceli is an interesting highlight, it was part of the Armenian vilayets during the Ottoman Empire, and has been a part of our history for a long time. However, lack of studies in the region about Armenians makes it hard for us to learn the history, and how Hurrians and HIttites of Dersim intermixed.
For Africa, I have an Armenian historian friend who was theorizing exchanges of Wives between Armenian apostolic and other apostolic churches. And he said that the presence of African DNA in Armenians might be correlated with wife exchanges between Ethiopian and Armenian churches.
However, he didn’t decide to pursue the study. So who knows.
In other news, if your family has Greek traders as ancestors, it wasn’t that far off to bargain for someone’s daughter in a far away land lmao
