Strange Armenian button

[bell-the-cat]

Can someone translate into English the text that is on this old brass button, or tell what the "m" and "ch" monogram stands for?

Մեսրոպեան Ճեմարան on top which is Mesropean Chemaran (in EA)/Mesrobean Jemaran (in WA). Սոֆիա which is Sofia on the bottom (probably Sofia, Bulgaria). It uses Traditional orthography.

It's a school (probably boarding school) named after Mesrop Mashtots located in Sofia. The "m" and "ch" are just the initials of Մեսրոպեան Ճեմարան.

If anyone is interested, there are several of these buttons on ebay - search for "RARE OLD ARMENIA ARMENIAN MILITARY UNIFORM BUTTONS SET". The seller is in Bulgaria so it will be Sofia, Bulgaria. If there actually had been a military or political connection to them, I'd have been interested in bidding on them, but since there isn't, I won't be.
