Turks, Jews, Arabs (Levant), Northern Semites like Assyrians are the most mixed people in the Middle East. Even people of the northern Caucasus are very mixed, mixed with the Turks, Russians, Iranians etc.We all know that the Turks have been in modern Turkey for only 1000years ................clearly we cannot get a clear admixture on them since we do not know exactly the admixture of the anatolians where before the Turks arrived
As far as I know we have already ancient samples from the Western (near Greece) & Eastern (ancient Armenia) Anatolia, and from the western parts of the Zagros Mountains (Eastern Kurdistan, ancient Iranians).
The purest people of the Mddle East have to be the Kurds and maybe Arabs (Bedouin) from Saudi Arabia. Gulf Arabs are also mixed and have also some ancient Iranic DNA. And even Bedoiun tribes from Arabia have for about 10-20% of the Black African ancestry. Besides a gene flow from Africa into Arabia there could be 2 reasons why there is so much Black African ancestry among the Arabs. Maybe from the ancient roots of the proto-Semites or from the Black Slaves, maybe from both
