Armenian Flag


The national flag of Armenia, the Armenian tricolor (known in Armenian Եռագույն, Yerakooyn), consists of three horizontal stripes of equal width, red top, blue in the middle, and orange (also called "apricot color) on the bottom. Armenian Supreme Soviet adopted the current flag on August 24, 1990. June 15, 2006, the Law on the National Flag of Armenia, governing its use, was adopted by the National Assembly of Armenia.
Throughout history, there were many variations of the Armenian flag. In ancient times, Armenian dynasties were represented by different symbolic animals displayed on their flags. In the twentieth century, various Soviet flags represented the Armenian nation.
The color values were interpreted in different ways. For example, red stood for the blood shed by Armenian soldiers in the war, blue for the Armenian sky, the orange represents the fertile lands of Armenia and the workers employed them.
The formal definition of color, as stated in the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, is:

Red symbolizes the Armenian Highland, the Armenian nation continues to struggle for survival, the content of Christian faith, gaining independence and freedom. Blue symbolizes the will of the Armenian people to live under a peaceful sky. Orange symbolizes the creative and industrious nature of the Armenian people.
