The flag of Armenia is composed of three horizontal stripes: red on the top, blue in the middle, and orange on the bottom. Each color holds deep significance tied to Armenia’s history and values. The red symbolizes the blood shed by Armenians in their struggle for survival and independence, as well as the landscape of the Armenian Highlands. The blue represents the Armenian sky and the desire for peace, while the orange signifies the courage and hardworking nature of the Armenian people. This tricolor design was officially adopted in 1990, just before Armenia regained its independence from the Soviet Union.
