They were conquered by Asiatic nomads and forced to speak that Asiatic language, but genetically these Asiatic nomads had very minimal influence according to genetic testing. You could not tell the difference between a Turk and an Armenian by genetics.
As for race, well that is a social construct. But whatever race you consider Armenians, Kurds, and Greeks to be. That's what you should consider them to be also.
