As the similarity can be clearly stated, why Mahmud II of Ottoman Empire is on the focus image of The Office of Sparapet of Armenia?

The mission text doesn't even match with the reward, it's also quite annoying that out of the 3 reforms Armenia gets. 2 are in the same tier, so you can only have 1, and the other one, is just complete garbage.

Also, I don't understand the point of giving unique reforms that are so bad it's way better to take generic ones:

The Nakharar Title is just a shit reform. (I know took Tax meta, but I didn't need Manpower when I took it).

The two military reforms have some justification. One is for a defensive posture and one is for an offensive posture. A question remains as to why Tinto went this route instead of granting a country modifier or an evolving government reform.

Oh, erm, in the view of the later Armenian-Turkish history, that could be... awkward. :S Not that it is intentional on the part of Paradox, obviously. Just... potentially problematic, but it is very likely that they did not realize this implication. Of course, Mahmud II himself lived and reigned long (he died in 1839) before that rather infamous episode so... *shrugs* Trying to be sensitive as much as I can in writing this, but I apologize if this offended anyone. Again, this is a very awkward subject, so admittedly not sure how to navigate around this potential minefield.

I guess it makes sense the difference between a offensive and a defensive military reform. But I still don’t understand the point of The Nakharar Title. It’s completely garbage.

Weird overlook on our behalf; we're fixing it and changing it for another mission icon for 1.36.1.

What Hezekiah says, both reforms are complementary, one being Defensive, and the other Offensive. The first was introduced as a free reform in 1.35 for Caucasian countries, this is why we decided to create a new unique, Offensive one for Armenia, so there are two different options to pick from.

I think the tier 5 reforms was referring to Cawa priveleges and office of sparapet. As is, both of unique reforms are useless as Nakharar Title bonuses are atrocious and the Cawa priveleges are way better than the office of sparapet.
