Respectfully, what’s your certainty based off exactly? There is a very similar piece to this item with Armenian letters engraved all over the guard and etched on the blade.

The style of the whole weapon, the make of the blade, the etchings all throughout the blade, and the etchings themselves scream Iranian, and match the etchings you'd find in other Iranian blades.
It's just not a style Armenians made. Armenian weapons were styled like caucasian and ottoman kindjals and short swords.
At best, if it is Armenian, it's a one off.
