So... This raises several questions.
1. Should this language be added to translatewiki.net? This was requested some time ago: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Thread:Support/Add_ support_for_Western_Armenian_(hym) . This means that it will be possible to translate MediaWiki into it.
2. I couldn't find a request for a Western Armenian Wikipedia, which is somewhat surprising :) . The closest thing I can find is https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_new_ languages/Wikipedia_Homshetsma , which is not the same thing. In any case, whenever such a request is made, will it be eligible?
I am inclined to answer "yes" to both questions, but with a caveat. I know very little about the Armenian language. My support is based mainly on Michael's conclusions of the examination of the differences between Eastern and Western varieties. However, the documents linked from the first email in this thread mention the similarity of the situation with Montengrin, which the committee seems not to support.
If we reject Montenegrin, but support Western Armenian, we'll have to explain it.

Congratulations, Michael and the entire Western Armenian community (or rather communities!). And thanks for all the effort you put into this!
Cheers, Oliver
