This video pretty much sums up some of what has already been discussed on this blog, but what interests me the most is one of the comments left on it:

The Basques originating from Armenia, we have close to 1000 words that have the same root and meanings…

Y-DNA wise, haplogroup G shows up in Armenians and G2a was quite frequent in the Proto Basques.

MtDNA wise, H seems highest and J and K are also well-represented in the Armenians. J and K together made up around 42% in the mtDNA genepool of the Proto Basques.

How has the DNA pool altered within the Basque populations since the Proto-Basques first arrived in the Pyrenees?

Armenia is among the highest in blood type A worldwide and the Basques may have gotten their frequencies of blood type A from there.

As for the language commonalities:

There’s similarities between Basque and Armenian languages, which tells us that Basques might’ve had origins from the Caucasus. Basque is not an Indo-European language, however modern day Armenianis, yet Basque and Armenian share a lot of similaritiesArmenian however has many non-Indo-European influences.
