Hi all,
first I should mention that I do not know Armenian at all and can just
recognize a few characters. Anyway I came across a problem which
probably cannot be solved by the standard \lccode / \uccode method.
What I mean is Yerevan which is written as Երևան but YEREVAN (all
caps) is ԵՐԵՎԱՆ beca
Something like this, I think.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{armenian}
\setmainfont{DejaVu Sans}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\let\tuppercase\text_uppercase:n
\ExplSyntaxOff
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}
Երևան $\rightarrow$ \uppercase{Երևան}
Երևան
Yes, it looks better but the uppercase version should contain ԵՎ, not ԵՒ. Վ
is capital vew (U+54E) while Ւ is capital yiwn (U+552).

the input uses a ligature character which has no corresponding uppercase,
you need to decompose the ligature before uppercasing, which \uppercase
can't do, you see the same in Latin script ff ligature
\uppercase{diff diff}
looks like DIFF DIff as the second one uses U+FB00 which has no uppercase.
