As an Armenian citizen you're going have hassles getting into Turkey
and with that Israeli stamp in your passport they'll turn you back at
the Iranian border...
...or for the irony-challenged: you need to provide a bit more data.
UK citizens can get a Turkish visa at the border. Iran requires
applying from home. You don't need to go through Romania (where
visas are expensive); for the other places visas are cheap or
unnecessary.
The usual route would take you across Italy and Slovenia into Hungary
and Serbia down the E5 to Turkey. The E5 in Serbia is a .ing horrible
road to drive with a very high accident rate (contemplate all the smashed
rusting wrecks in the fields as you pass). Anent Turkish road safety,
read Orhan Pamuk's "The New Life". He is not kidding. (I read that book
on 1000 miles of bus trips round western Turkey and my copy is full of
used bus tickets as bookmarks. Okay, I have a peculiar sense of humour).
