About Flag of Armenia in brief
The national flag of Armenia, the Armenian Tricolour, consists of three horizontal bands of equal width, red on the top, blue in the middle, and orange on the bottom. The Armenian Supreme Soviet adopted the current flag on 24 August 1990. The meanings of the colors are interpreted in many different ways. For example, red stands for the blood of the 1. 5 million Armenians killed in the Armenian Genocide, blue is for the Armenian pure sky and orange represents the country’s courage. In 2012, the National Institute of Standards issued specifications about the construction and colors on the national flag. Today’s tricolor flag bears little resemblance to the earliest Armenian ‘flags’ In ancient times, armies went into battle behind carvings mounted on poles. With the advent of Christianity,. the Armenian empire adopted many different flags representing various dynasties.
The Artaxiad Dynasty’s flag, for instance, consisted of a red cloth displaying two eagles gazing at each other, separated by a flower. An earlier prototype, which was eventually rejected, was the rainbow flag. Its colors were red, green, and blue, from left to right, representing the rainbow that Noah saw after landing on Mount Ararat. On November 29, 1920 Bolsheviks established the Armenian SSR. An old flag was introduced and fixed in the Constitution, accepted on February 2, 1922 by the First Congress of Soviets. On December 30, 1922, the Transcaucasian SFSR became one of the four Soviet republics to form the form of the USSR. The flag of the republic had a hammer and sickle inserted into the Russian script. These letters stand for Закатинище, sans-ser-serve, and цианте, in Russian.
