Are you doing a presentation on legends or myths? As far as I know these are two completely different things. Also, if I were you, I'd drastically restrict my presentation to one topic. Your topic is way too broad as far as I can see. Try just one myth or legend, or only talk about the divine/pantheon system. I can't help you, but maybe, being a university student now, you should try your uni library and start reading serious works.

Personally, I would stick to Akhtamar. It's a pretty easy topic, quite a bit has been written about it, and I think quite a bit to say. You could even restrict that and concentrate on Toumanian's version of it only.

ok I'll be honest w/ you. I'm the God of Ararat Mt. (kinda like Olympos) NO MORE QUESTIONS!! Ok, let me tell you about my story. One day I was walking around the summit of my mountain and I saw Armenians down there. And I said to them; "Oh Armenians, bring me some beer and horses. Thus they did. Then I said to them, Oh Armenians bring me some hot girls. Thus they did. I said, Oh Armenians bring me some string cheese. They did, but it was a little old and I got sick, I threw up and caused huge earthquakes when my belly growled. That was a sad day."

thank you Nairi your input...Ive tried the library numerous times, but considering that i am in north dakota haha our sources are limited...i did get a book from UCLA's library and it was helpful, but i need pictures and stuff too...and the topic isnt broad, because all i am going to do is to pretty much name the gods and then talk about them briefly, like what they represented and stuff...as far as Akhtamar goes, i am going to just mention it and tell the story itll take like 5 minutes...i already have shortened it because i picked the gods that were the most influential, like Anahit, etc.but i do appreciate your help, thank you...and if you can tell me a site or something where i can find the pictures, that would be great...thanks again,
