Good description
Quackers.
no "he" or "she" in Armenian? I know that Persian makes do with one
pronoun word that's used for male or female.

One would think that Armenian would resemble Greek or Persian?
guess it would take someone who knew those langs as well to see
any relationship.

It's not surprising that the Armenian language shares some structural
features with Turkish, as the Armenians used to live in the Ottoman
Empire.
Turkish doesn't distinguish gender neither and the word order is SOV.

Any structural similarities with Turkish may be purely coincidental, as
Armenian is an Indo-European language and Turkish is not.

Maybe, maybe not. That they're not from the same family doesn't mean there was/is no interaction between the languages.
