Before the advent of genetics I also thought the Basque has some link to Caucasus but the genetics show that the Basques lack the Western Asian component that is very high in Caucasus.
Nevertheless the presence of Armenian and Georgian cognates in Basque language is very intriguing.
The only explanation I have is the time when R1b-M269 was in North of Near East (but it is neolithic ?!)
Concerning the Etruscan. What You think about the idea that Etruscan is someway related to IE?
