I can send a few sheets if you want (message me) but you can easily learn Armenian folk songs by ear! Just takes a few months practice and you can
usually pick out the tunes as they have certain motifs that often repeat

The sheet music would be helpful, but you're right, a lot of this can be learned by ear fairly quickly. It's just a matter of isolating the main
melody and slowly adding on all the little flourishes as you gain more skill.

The song Finjan (Fincani Tastan Oyarlar) is in Hijaz

Oh it is? That's interesting. I remember seeing sheet music for Finjan somewhere and I swear I saw quarter tones. I thought Hijaz didn't have any
quarter tones (unless the Turks play Hijaz differently).
The song "Akh Im Anoush Yarus" is also in Hijaz correct?

Yep Agh Im Anoush Yarush is hijaz.
The hijaz tetrachord (four-note section of a scale) is quite flexible, so while you can play it on a chromatic instrument as semitone-augmented
second-semitone (e.q. A, Bb, C#, D) on the oud it's common to make the semitones wider, so it can even end up as 3/4 tone-tone-3/4 tone (A, B
half-flat, C half-sharp, D) in extreme cases. And of course it can be anywhere in between!

Wow, it just goes to show how learning things by ear is probably the best route to take.
