National Anthem

"Artsakh" by Ara Gevorgyan

The Armenian flag is tricolored: red, blue and orange. The anthem is called “Mer Hayrenik” (“Our Motherland”). The coat of arms of the four Armenian royal families – Artashid, Arshakid, Bagratid, and Rubinid, are located on the shield in the middle of the coat of arms, in the middle of which is the Biblical Mount Ararat, with Noah’s Ark residing on its peak.

There are over 10 million Armenians in the world; 3.2 million live in the RA, while the rest make up the Armenian Diaspora.
