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 :
I
just dont know if we can trust this very flag from 1226. Indeed
: in Middle Ages, the then traditional fashion was to make
banners of arms. So I M not certain about a plain red rectangle flag
adorned with a serrated
shield. So I tried this (just see below) but I M not certain no
more !
Shield of kingdom of Armenia-Cilicia
> typical Middle Ages banner of arms instead
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".
+ 10 BONUS FLAGZ :
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.

mergin both !!!! BTW GREEN stands for the
land, insted of blue.... it's + logic !!!!
ARTSAKH / NAGORNO KARABAKH (1923-2023 in AZERBAIJAN) (sovietic ratio of shit)
Fortunately someonethought & drew a 3:5 version !!
WESTERN ARMENIA / HAYRENIK 1915 (Self-proclaimed State of Western Armenia within Ottoman Empire) (ratio 1:2)
WESTERN ARMENIA / HAYRENIK 2004 or 2011 ????
(Self-proclaimed State of Western Armenia within Republic of
Turkey) (weird ratio 5:9)
A very perfect picture of this flag is vizible here > peopleofar.com/2011/10/24/western-armenian-flag-has-been-approved
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
HAYRENIK 2011 MARKO's project
JAVAKHK
People Hamshen (Western Armenian ethnic group, originaly from the Black Sea coast - district of Rize, now in Turkey)
A greater united ARMENIA

ARMENIA as it SHOULD be....
ARMENIA as it REALY is....
ARMENIA as it MIGHT become with the
project "One nation, two States"....
But why not goin further with a + radical project "One nation,
one State" ???? - PAN-TURKISH PROJECT FOR AN AXIS WEST-EAST.
Pan-Turkish project for an axis west-east. - ORGANIZATION OF TURKIC STATES
MARKO's project !!!! - PROJECT FOR A "CONTER-AXIS" NORTH-SOUTH.
