            The country has been independent from 1918 till 1921. This flag was the emblem of that efemere republic. After 1921 Armenia was colonized by the Soviet Union & used several fascist flags. In 1990 the country recovered its independence & so readopted its first flag thou the original ratio 2:3 was very curiously replaced by a 1:2 that was in use with the comunist-fascist flags. Red is the blood shed above all against the Turx; blue stands for the land; orange represents the courage of the Armenians. The present pattern was adopted on 24 AUGUST 1990.

          [I wrote many times to their ambassadors both in Paris & Washington (Arman Kirakossian) about their sovietic ratio of shit but bad mannered people NEVER answer & dont seem to give a fuck about their ominous homage toward the USSR!]

      AS USUAL WIKIMERDIA IS JUST SHIT :

            VEXILLO NOTE #1 :

                This very flag 1341-1375 is highly dubious and has probably NEVER been uzed or even NEVER existed. Indeed, we can see it here :

            This Russian chart of flagz come from a book from the New York Public Library and is vizible online just here : digitalcollections.nypl.org/items/510d47db-9e17-a3d9-e040-e00a18064a99

            It's titled "Pavillons de la Noblesse de Moscou" which means "Flags (or Standards) of the Nobility of Moscow". This flagz chart dates from 1898 accordin to the New York Public Library.

            VEXILLO NOTE #2 :

                We can NOT trust this very flag from 1226, even if this very peculiar shield is vizible here > wappenwiki.org/index.php/House_of_Hethumids

                King Leo 2 of Armenia-Cilicia (1150-1219), king from 1187 till 1199.

            The great Serb vexillolog Tomislav TODOROVIC says (I quote) : "As you can see, the version of Hethumid arms you asked me about has appeared in the Walford Roll, while other rolls of arms display different blazons. It seems that each of these versions appears only once, so I would not consider them credible, just like many other variations of other arms."

            IMPORTANT NOTE : The fact it's written "Vermandois Roll" is an error by Wappenwiki. In reality, it was from the Walford Roll.

            Banners of 1198 shall be uzed all the time. We can indeed see a yello (gold) banner with a red lion on the Catalan Atlas from 1375 here > commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Catalan_Atlas#/media/File:Blason_du_royaume_arm%C3%A9nien_de_Cilicie.jpg

            Wikimerdia & some others say Armenia had red lions on white flagz & banners in the very beginning, from 1198. But it's WRONG.

                The red lion on a white field appears for the first time on this banner from 1374.

            Kingdom of Cyprus - James 1 becomes King of Armenia in 1393. New arms for Cyprus added on the 4° quarter (new arms of Cyprus clearly derived from Lusignan, previously sometimes depicted with a plain white field)

            See my page CYPRUS here > markodehaeck.free.fr/CY.htm

            This banner of arms comes directly from the shield of the House of Poitiers-Lusignan, kings of Cyprus, titular kings of Jerusalem and Armenia-Cilicia from 1374.

            See here > wappenwiki.org/index.php/House_of_Poitiers-Lusignan

                For 1341 I display this banner of arms, made after the shield of Almaric [or Amaury] de Lusignan, Lord of Tyr.

            This shield can be seen on coins vizible here (section titled Amaury of Tyr) > www.hubert-herald.nl/Cyprus.htm

            VEXILLO NOTE #3 :

                AS USUAL WIKIMERDIA IS JUST SHIT

            I confirm no hammer and sickle within the star. Only letters and star in description in Constitution. I agree with Viktor LOMANTSOV's image : www.vexillographia.ru/zsfsr/zsfsr.htm

            These 2 flagz are quite often displayed as having been Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic from February to December 1922. Yet, after inquiry, it appears these 2 flagz have probably just never existed.

            VEXILLO NOTE #4 :

                THIS FLAG IS AN ERROR AND HAS NEVER EXISTED !!!!

            EVERYWHERE this flag is displayed as "Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic    (April-May 1918)"    with the followin explanation : "yello for Armenia, blak for Georgia, red for Azerbaijan". But it's definitely not ! Indeed, the great Russian vexillolog Viktor LOMANTSOV explain it to us on his followin page : www.vexillographia.ru/gruzia/index.htm    I quote the last 2 § : "Какого-либо флага у Закавказского Сейма не было. Иногда ошибочно говорится о флаге Закавказской Федерации - жёлто-чёрно-красном горизонтальном триколоре. Это результат ошибки. На самом деле такого флага не существовало. Причиной возможно послужило опять же ошибочное заявление в известной книге К.Иванова "Флаги государств мира", где жёлто-чёрно-красным назван флаг Грузии."   I translate (the same last 2 §) : There was no flag of the Transcaucasian Seimas. Sometimes it is mistakenly said about the flag of the Transcaucasian Federation - a yellow-black-red horizontal tricolor. This is the result of the error. In fact, this flag did not exist. The reason may have been again the erroneous statement in K. Ivanov's famous book Flags of the World States, where the flag of Georgia is yellow-black-red.

As usual SHIT FOTW is shit as Mario Fabretto repeats K. Ivanov's DOUBLE mistake when sayin "Their flags were horizontal tricolours : yellow-black-red in Georgia"    AND    "The horizontal tricolour yellow-black-red was the flag choosen for the Federative Democratic Republic of Transcaucasia" : www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/qw.html

A huge thank toward Ralph KELLY (BEST vexillolog on Earth) for his help.

Notice Ralphy's main source for the flags of the Russian SSRs is The Flag Bulletin Issue XI:I (1971) "Soviet State Symbolism : Flags and Arms of the USSR and its constituent parts 1917-1971". Another source is The Flag Bulletin Issue VIII:3 (1969) "Flags of Non-Russian Peoples under Soviet Rule".

                                                                 Tricolor of Alishan 1885    -    obvious influence of the French Tricolor
                                                            Colorz uzed by priest Ghevond Alishan (1820-1901) from the Armenian Catholic Church at the request of the Association of Armenian Students in Paris
                                                            Draft of the FIRST Armenian national flag : rectangular panel of 3 vertical equal stripes red, green, blue (supozly uzed at the funeral of Victor Hugo in Paris in 1885)
                                                            A red-green-blue ribbon, about which Catholicos Gukas 1 Karnetsi (1780 - 1799) wrote, symbolizing the groups of colors in the rainbow that Noah saw when his ark landed on Mount Ararat after the flood. 

                                                                 Tricolor of Alishan 1855
                                                            Priest "Father" Ghevond Alishan (1820-1901) , without any historical evidence, composed the “Armenian flag”, which was later adopted as the official flag of the Hunchak party.
                                                            The flag was based solely on the data of the Armenian Church calendar according to which the first Sunday of Easter is called "red" Sunday, the second "green" Sunday,
                                                            and by selecting its own arbitrary color, white completed the combination of colors.
                                                            Later, the white-green-red flag was used by the Armenian Social Democratic Party “ Hentchak” (“Bell”), founded in 1887.

                                                             However the comment of the dude who manage that blog says Hayrénik's flag loox like Etchmiadzin's flag :

                                                                 Well.... I must say.... DEFINITELY NOT, my dear !!!!

                                                                 Etchmiadzin's flag loox actualy by far much + like my own project for NORMANDIE !!!!

                                                                 Oh ! BTW may I introduce my own project for HAYRENIK / WESTERN ARMENIA ? It's NOT AT ALL in order to piss off West Armenians !!!!
                                                             It's ONLY TO KEEP a UNITY throu the TRADITIONAL beautiful colors red-blue-orange of the 1918 flag of HAYASTAN. +over light blue is not a traditional Armenian color.
                                                             Light blue is a Mongol and / or Turkic traditional color. Red is a traditional Armenian color. Light blue is NOT.
                                                             So a beautiful & interestin collection of Armenian flagz with traditional Armenian colors red-blue-orange would give this :

                                                                 HAYRENIK 1915

                                                                 HAYASTAN 1918

                                                                 ARTSAKH 1992
