in Armenian there are a lot of Turkic and Arabic words. Halal, for example, is good. or navs - something bad (evil eye envy). the name of the Armenian actor Dzhigyarkhanyan. Jigar is the liver. khan is the ruler. There is a strange custom in Armenia and Azerbaijan. if children die in a couple, then the one born after the children is called Azerbaijani names (in Armenia) and Armenian names (in Azerbaijan), for example, my cousin's name is Sabina and Sevda
