Republic of Artsakh



The flag of the Republic of Artsakh consists of a horizontal tricolor of red, blue, and orange with a white, five-toothed, stepped pattern at the fly end. The flag is similar to the Flag of Armenia, with the addition of the white pattern, symbolizing the region's Armenian heritage and its aspiration for independence.

Design and Symbolism[edit | edit source]

The flag's design is a horizontal tricolor of red, blue, and orange, which are the same colors used in the Flag of Armenia. The red symbolizes the ongoing struggle for survival, the blue represents the will of the people to live beneath peaceful skies, and the orange stands for the creative talent and hard-working nature of the people of Artsakh.

The white, five-toothed, stepped pattern at the fly end of the flag represents the mountainous terrain of the region and the aspiration for a future, peaceful life. It also signifies the historical connection and the desire for unity with Armenia.

History[edit | edit source]

The flag was adopted on June 2, 1992, following the declaration of independence of the Republic of Artsakh from Azerbaijan. The design was chosen to reflect the cultural and historical ties with Armenia, as well as the unique identity of the Artsakh people.

Usage[edit | edit source]

The flag is used as the national flag of the Republic of Artsakh and is displayed on public buildings, during official ceremonies, and at various cultural events. It is a symbol of national pride and the struggle for self-determination.
