@BobDear Have you tried google translate? I tried using the camera on google translate app which is amazing for typed words but I am not familiar enough with the language to know what characters to enter into google translate. Are you at all?

Google translate does allow you to upload a picture. I tried to look but I'm not very good and could only make out the "a" and "h" and bs. I dabble in languages and alphabets sometimes (interesting to me).

Some letters I couldn't make out (the ones like y). Plus some languages the written is so different to printed.

I hope you find out. I'm curious myself now 😀

My Armenian speaking friend says:
It says in Western Armenian kʰez shad gə sirem 'I love you (sg) very much', Asdvadz bahe u bashbane 'May god keep and protect [you]'. Then "Porors" perhaps? I'm not sure about the first letter. Then Gülbenkʰ, which I assume is short for Gulbenkian (one of the most wealthy and powerful Armenian families), then sirel zavag 'beloved child', then Helen yev David 'Helen and David'.

@AnnaBegins

That all makes complete sense. Thank you and your friend so very much.
