Light Armenians?

There was an Armenian kid at my high school who had bright red hair (naturally), pale skin with freckles and light eyes. He had obvious Armenoid facial features but he was pasty white with freckles and had red hair. The weirdest part is that he was born in Syria. Is this look very uncommon among Armenians? I assumed it was admixture of some sort. I picture Armenians looking more like Serj Tankian.

The truly pure Armenians are Whites. Most Armenians today are quite swarthy, and that is because they are not pure Armenians. They have all kinds of different blood, often without even knowing it. I once dated an Armenian girl from Yerevan with blue eyes and light brown hair. She traced her ancestry and she's purely Armenian. Such people are very rare and make up only a small percentage of Armenians today, but they definitely exist. I have several blue eyed Armenian NS friends who live in Armenia.
