Hi Suzi:
The ARS Accession query tool lists 
Pyrus communis subsp. caucasica (Fed.) Browicz ROSACEAE

There were no hits for a cultivar called Armenian.  There were some hits 
for material collected from the wild by Magness.   Example:
http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/acc_search.pl?accid=MAG-1

> Does anyone have any suggestions about the botanical name for the
> Armenian pear or where it was bred?
> Thanks,
> -------Suzi Teghtmeyer
