A similar thread was brought up previvously on this topic. Where I live (Central California) most people can tell I'm Armenian. But when I travel to various other parts of the country,it's a different story. I mostly get mistaken as being Italian,Greek,Persian or just a dark complected white guy of unknown origin. What really flipped me out was some other AC member (I can't remember who it was) once commented I looked like a young Elvis Presley and I really don't know for sure what ethnicity he was. But anyway,I am to my best knowledge pure Armenian.
Simple question, but an interesting one, because it begs for other interesting questions. Namely: what physical feature do you think is the one that majority of Armenian share. Notice, I'm not asking for unique features, just ones that make up this Armenian look. I'd have to say our eyes. We're a nation of people with big beautiful brown and black eyes. I've only once seen an Armo with blue eyes. Was pretty striking I must say.
In general it's very difficult to break a face down into individual features, but I think it's even harder to try to identify features as a way to identify race or ethnicity. We processes faces whollistically.
I did think of eyes too though in trying to choose and important feature.

My dad is 100% Armenian and has bright green eyes...
As for physical features I'd have to say the nose...all the armenians I know have noses that are pretty much alike (can't explain though )
