Thank you.They are mostly G2a*
They are mostly G2a*
I said mostly
North Ossetians G2a* : 74%

A 2009 presentation by Khadizhat Dibirova indicated the following percentages:

Ossetian ~600,000 166 : 67.8% 113

That's just one study. You should take into account as many as possible.
This study has haplogroup frequencies for Russians (Kuban Cossaks) in the North Caucasus (n. 14) : Balanovsky et al. (2008) The three dominant haplogroups are R1a (47%), I2a2 (16.5%) and R1b (9%). There is only 1% of G2.
Thank you G2a_Adige ! You are absolutely right ! G2a is a Caucasus haplogroup found in the north and south at a high rate . The Ossetians are G at more than 60 % and they are the direct descendants of the Sarmatians and Scythians tribes some Caucasus subclades of G are associated to the Koban culture and the Bronze age of Caucasus .Adige people have mostly G2a haplogroup, I am an Adige and I am also G2a like all other adige around me.

3. (SBU) Estimates of the Caucasian population in Turkey vary but range to as high as seven million.
5. (SBU) Turkish Circassians' ancestors were forced to leave their North Caucasian homelands as Russia completed the annexation of the region in the second half of the 19th century. Celikpala estimates that over 1.5 million emigrated -- about 90 percent of the North Caucasian population at the time. They settled largely in the Ottoman Empire, in present day Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, and the Balkans, but mostly in Anatolia. A second, smaller wave of emigration to Turkey took place in 1918, as the Bolsheviks re-consolidated Russian power in the region. Finally, the GOT permitted about 600 North Caucasian legionnaires to settle in Turkey after World War II. Circassians in Anatolia settled primarily in the Marmara region around Adapazari, moving to villages based on their respective sub-identity, i.e., Abkhaz, Ossetian, etc., though these sub-groups, as well as the Georgians who came to live among them, interacted and intermarried. Anatolia's rural isolation helped ensure that Circassian culture and language persevered well into the 20th century.
Research by Behar et al. found that the Adyghe people are mostly West Asian but also have South Asian (Pakistani region) and Northeast Asian (Altaic Mongoloid) elements. On average, they say the Adyghe have about 5.7%-5.9% Siberian ancestry and about 7% South Asian ancestry.
Similarly, as of August 2011, DNA Tribes in their admixture summary "Genetic Links between Three SNP Based Regions in Europe" reported that the Adyghe are 86.5% Caucasus-Anatolian, 6% Pakistani-Indus, 4.7% Baltic-Urals, 1.8% Mongolian, and 0.9% Siberian.
U is the most common mtDNA haplogroup among the Adyghe people with a frequency of 32%. Of these, 14% belong to U3, 8% to U5, 4% to U2, and 4% to U4. The mtDNA haplogroup H is encountered among 22% of the Adyghe, of which 8% belong to H1+H3. T is found among 14% of those tested, followed by I with 6%, J with 4%, X2 with 3%, K with 2%, and W with 0.5%. Other mtDNA haplogroup(s) are found among 15.5%.

The Circassians (who call themselves "Adyghe") are an indigenous people of the Northwest Caucasus region.
The term "Circassian" is the English equivalent of the Turkic "Cherkess". Although this term has sometimes been used in a broad sense to include the Adyghe, the Abkhaz-Abaza and the Ubykhs - whose respective languages belong to the North-West Caucasian family group - or indiscriminately, to all the peoples of the North Caucasus, it should refer more precisely to the inhabitants of historical Circassia, the Adyghe.
Today, only a minority of Circassians live in their divided ancestral homeland, mainly in three republics of the Russian Federation (Kabardino Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia and Adygheya), the majority having been forced to migrate to the Ottoman Empire following the 19th century Russian conquest of the Caucasus.
