Very beautiful belt with an unusual buckle. I love it and I am curious: what makes you say it is Armenian?
Armenian silver smiths can be found all across the Middle East and far south as Ethiopia, where they were manufacturing among others crowns, etc. for the imperial court. They are standing out for their fantastic workmanship (not only for silver works but also carpets, etc.) and clever business attitude. Armenia was originally a very large country spanning much across Turkey, Syria, etc... The Ottomans have diminished the population and their country, downsizing the same with the Armenians fleeing to other places. Overall a very a sad story....
