Mesrop Mashtots created the Armenian alphabet around 405 CE, and it is still the alphabet the Armenian language is written in, by something like 12 million people. It is bicameral, with capitals and small letters like Latin, and it runs left to right, which makes a serif design for it a fairly natural thing to build next to a Latin serif.

Noto Serif Armenian is the modulated, serif branch of Google’s Noto coverage for the script, drawn by the Monotype design team. It is meant for running text. 9 weights ship in the download, Thin at 100 through Black at 900, and the Latin that comes along is a matching serif, so a page in Armenian with English names or dates in it does not need a second family.

A detail from the history, for anyone setting real text: Armenia itself uses a reformed spelling that was introduced in the Soviet period, while most of the diaspora kept the original Mesropian orthography.

In the 18th and 19th centuries the script was also widespread in the Ottoman Empire. For a reissue or a community newsletter we would start at Regular for the body and keep the Black for a masthead.
