Hi, I agree that the letters look Armenian (though I don't read any Armenian), but the looks is very Ottoman/Greek. Theoretically, this would point towards Eastern Armenia (Cilicia), which was in the center of the Ottoman empire, not far from the south-west Turkey, which a large Greek population. I don't no similar examples, so this is purely guessing.
