Armenian National Flag History

By Adam Smith


The earliest Armenian flag that we could locate dates back to 180 BC. The very early flags were carvings attached to a pole. The flags came in a variety of base colors. The designs featured eagles, dragons, lions and more symbols representing the gods. During the early Christian era, there were purple flags with an embossed lion.

Armenia proclaimed its independence on May 28, 1918, after the Russian Revolution. On August 1 of that year, the new constitution gave a red-blue-orange striped banner official sanction, and it kept on flying until 1921 April 2 when Russia's Red Army vanquished Armenia.

One interpretation of its symbolism is that red stands for the blood shed by Armenians in the past, blue is for the unchanging Armenian land, and orange is for courage and work. Historical interpretations have also been given to the colours.

Chronicled interpretations have been given to the colours. The National flag of Armenia was supported on the 24th of August, 1990. Colours showed on the standard of Armenia are the shades of the last time of the Rubenidov line. The rectangular banner includes three equal even strips: top - red, center - blue and the last one is orange. Red, blue and yellow have the major regular centrality of all the piece.

When the Rubenian Dynasty fell and the Armenian lost their independence there was no national flag. It wasn’t until 1855 that the quest for a national flag began again. A group of Armenian students in Paris wanted to attend Victor Hugo’s funeral under an Armenian flag. They asked Father Alishan for the true colors of the Armenian flag.

The typical importance of Armenian banner expressed in the constitution is translated as following: red symbolizes the Armenian good country, the Armenian individuals' proceeded with a battle for survival, support of the Christian confidence, Armenia's autonomy and flexibility. Blue symbolizes the will of the general population of Armenia to live underneath peaceful skies. Orange symbolizes the imaginative ability and persevering nature of the general population of Armenia.
