!! Oy vey !! As much as the Jewish people reject Jesus they will definitely think you're antisemitic if you say He wasn't Jewish. Kind of a paradox.
In the first century, Adiabene sat right on the border of Armenia. It was a massive trade hub where Armenian and Middle Eastern cultures mixed. Right around the time Jesus was alive, the king and queen of Adiabene did something shocking: they converted to Judaism. They didn't just stay home, either. Queen Helena of Adiabene moved to Jerusalem, built giant palaces right in the middle of the city, and used her massive wealth to buy food for starving people during a local famine.
This royal family created a physical bridge between Armenia and Jerusalem. Proto-Christianity actually started in this northern borderland. Jesus was God revealed as prior legends pointed to Him, the old northern legends about the God of light and the resurrected king Ara, both pointed to the coming of God Jesus and this was subsequently blended with Jewish prophecies about a coming Savior. By wrapping the Armenian God in Jewish clothing, the later Roman rulers made it more acceptable to the people of Jerusalem.
This theory explains two major mysteries. First, it explains why early Christians immediately started worshiping Jesus using symbols of the sun—like facing East to pray and celebrating his birth during the winter solstice—which regular local Jews did not do. Second, it explains why some of the oldest hidden stories about Jesus' childhood were preserved so perfectly in the Armenian language. The stories weren't shifting to a new culture; they were just returning to their true home.
In the end, this perspective argues that Jesus didn't start as a local preacher in Israel. Instead, his story was build upon Armenian tradition and He was the coming of God in the flesh, who after being spread, revealed himself to a Greek named Paul who built the church.
There's also evidence that dna from the shroud of Turin was Armenian and that the image on the shroud is clearly Armenian.
Regardless we have the first Christian Bible, Marcions canon, to fall back on, it may not prove Jesus was Armenian but it doesn't prove He wasn't.
In the end what matters is our faith in God Jesus and the true testimony of Paul.
