The Armenian flag: red, blue and orange
Armenia’s flag, the Yeraguyn or tricolour, has three equal horizontal bands of red, blue and orange in a 1:2 ratio, which makes it one of the longer national flags in proportion. The constitution gives the meaning: red for the Armenian Highland, the people’s continued struggle for survival, the Christian faith and freedom; blue for the will to live beneath peaceful skies; and orange for the creative talent and hard-working nature of the people. The orange is often called apricot, after the fruit that Armenia claims as its own. The tricolour was the flag of the First Republic from 1918 to 1920, and it was restored on 24 August 1990, a year before independence from the Soviet Union; the 2006 flag law fixed the shades and the 1:2 shape. Our Armenia flag is printed in the specified red, blue and orange with the bands in equal depth.
Independence Day, Vardavar and the community in Britain
Independence Day on 21 September commemorates the 1991 referendum, Republic Day on 28 May the First Republic of 1918, and both are marked with flags on public buildings in Yerevan and with dinners and concerts in the diaspora. Vardavar in July, the water festival, and the Armenian Christmas on 6 January are the other dates when the community comes together, and in Britain that community is centred on London, with the two Armenian churches in Kensington and the cultural centre, and on Manchester, whose Holy Trinity Armenian Church is the oldest in the country. The flag also flies for the Armenian football team, for chess, in which Armenia has won the Olympiad three times, for the wrestlers and weightlifters who bring home Olympic medals, and for Armenian students’ societies at UK universities.
Choosing a size and grade
Go for a 5ft x 3ft on a pole, a balcony or a church hall wall; a 3ft x 2ft in a window, on a desk wall or on a short pole; an 8ft x 5ft on a large fixed pole or as a stage backdrop; and a 20x12in on a car or a hand pole. Flagtex is the printed polyester for indoor displays and short outdoor use, and DuraFlag the knitted heavyweight with double-stitched edges for a flag that stays on the pole. Both have a sewn header with brass eyelets; the DuraFlag is also offered with clips or rope and toggle.
Armenia bunting
Armenia bunting is a tape of rectangular tricolour pennants in 3m and 9m lengths. A 3m run frames a doorway or a buffet table; a 9m run goes along a church hall or around a marquee for a 21 September dinner. The pennants are polyester printed on both sides and are fine to leave outdoors.
Hand flags and table flags
Armenia hand flags on wooden sticks come in 9x6in and 18x12in for concerts, parades and football matches. The Armenia table flag is 6x4in on a base for a desk or a restaurant table, and the large wooden table flag at 18x12in suits an embassy reception or a function table. Georgia, Russia, Iran and Lebanon flags are under world flags.
