I was born into an Apostolic Armenian family. we Armenians are considered part of the Oriental Orthodoxy, and if i am correct, we are in full communion with the syrian, coptic, etc orthodox churches

are you sure that Armenian Apostolics use the same version as the Coptic? |

The Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox have the same biblical canon that includes the "deutero-canonical" books. You can find an Armenian Church English edition of the Bible here: http://www.stvartanbookstore.com/ind...OD&ProdID=5383

The one that I would recommend is this one: Amazon.com: The Orthodox Study Bible: Ancient Christianity Speaks to Today's World (9780718003593): Thomas Nelson: Books
I would also recommend the one from Andrew21091 as well. I have both and from what I understand the Armenian one, from Saint Vartan Press, has the the "deutero-canonical" books translated from the Classical Armenian.

Don’t worry about the style of the Cross; what it means is more important. 
The Armenian Bible was translated from the Septuagint, Syriac and Hebrew sources. Most Western Bibles were translated from the Latin Vulgate, then into other languages. If you are looking for the exact canon of the Armenian Bible translated from the Classical Armenian there isn’t one.
Are you looking for something particular in the bible or do you have a question regarding it?

May the Holy Spirit guide you on your journey to discover the Word of God. | |
