The official meaning of Armenia’s red, blue and orange
Armenia’s flag has equal horizontal bands of red, blue and orange. The President’s official explanation links red with the Armenian Highlands and the struggle for survival, independence and freedom; blue with the wish to live under peaceful skies; and orange with creative talent and hard work.
The tricolour served the First Republic of Armenia from 1918 to 1920 and was restored in 1990. The colours therefore carry both the official meanings and a history tied to modern Armenian statehood.

About historical flags
Vexilla's historical flag collection includes former flags associated with present-day countries and territories, as well as flags of states, empires, and other authorities that historically governed them.
A flag's inclusion in a country's historical collection does not necessarily mean that the country was independent at the time or that the flag was its own national flag.
The years shown are based on historical records in the dataset and do not always indicate the date of official adoption. The collection is not exhaustive, and historical usage, territorial coverage, and interpretations may vary.
