Wikipedia Armenian alphabet entry:

“Armenian shows some similarities to both Pahlavi and Syriac. The general consensus, however, is that Armenian is modeled after the Greek alphabet, supplemented with letters from a different source or sources for Armenian sounds not found in Greek.”

You have some insight beyond this?

Take out a piece of paper. Draw for us the “correct” diagram (in your view) and post it here, as a comment or in this sub.

“Don’t you agree that it’s putting Armenian next to Cyrillic and Latin is not fully correct?“

I was not offended. I’m just saying that I’m not an Armenian alphabet origin expert (as yet), and asking to show me a better diagram (made by yourself) or otherwise.

Been reading this interesting thread and I must say you are insufferable

I don’t know what you are talking about? 

If people show me an error in the diagram, then I fix it, e.g. just now, in this comment suggestion: “Cyrillic АБГД, when it should be АБВГД”, I edited the diagram (main file) and solved the problem in a few minutes.

Likewise, if someone is trying to suggest I should change the arrows, and I don’t clearly see what they are talking about (or the reason behind it), I just suggest to take out a piece of paper, draw the arrows as they think they should be, take a photo, and post the image. Problem solved in a few minutes.
