I think we are repeating the discussion from comment 2 and comment 3.  In short
terms: it would be nice to have flags allowing to select
uppercase/lowercase/titlecase but such feature does not exist yet.

I think I understand you.  But we can't fix the people wrongly spelling the
month names (capitalizing where it is not correct), we can only fix software
here (e.g., not capitalizing where it should).

Regarding the particular case of Armenian language I would like to leave the
decision to the actual language community but I'm afraid that the community
will not speak up here.  As we are not sure what to do and none of us has a
sufficient knowledge I suggest not touching this language at all.
