The flag of Pan-Armenian Games<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first Pan-Armenian Games took place in Yerevan in 1999. these sport competitions are organized by the World Committee of Pan-Armenian Games (WCPAG).<\/p>\n

The games are attended by teams from Armenia, Karabakh, as well as by teams of Armenian Diaspora from different countries. The flag of the Pan-Armenian Games is a navy-blue cloth with the emblem of the Games in the center. The length of the flag is twice as much as its width.<\/p>\n

The emblem of the Pan-Armenian Games was approved by the World Constitutive Conference of Armenian athletic organizations of the world on 30 April 1997. The emblem depicts six multicolored intertwines rings. The five rings repeat the colors of the Olympic ones, and the sixth is of apricot color symbolizing Armenia. The rings are grouped in a pyramid (which visually reminds of a mountain \u2013 symbolizing the Caucasus and Ararat). The rings are beneath a fire whose flames repeat the colors of the national flag of Armenia.<\/p>\n

Drafts flags of Armenia<\/p>\n

In 1999, on his web site Raffi Kojayan offered to make the flag of Armenia less similar to other tricolors, and also more impressive.<\/p>\n

His offer was to add narrow white stripes to the flag to divide the three wider ones. The white color would symbolize snowy tops of Ararat. However, there was only talk, and no action.<\/p>\n

There is a draft of the flag of Armenia designed by artist Mikhail Asatur Kanayan on the website http:\/\/www.noev-kovcheg.ru. to the traditional Armenian tricolor he has added a Christian cross in the middle of which he has depicted the mountains of Ararat, Noah\u2019s Ark, the rainbow, a heart. This is how the author himself explains the symbols:<\/p>\n

\u201cI have written on the topic in the forum miacum.ru. But some new information has been available since then. I must note that the main colors of Armenian flags have always been, and still are, blue, yellow and\u00a0 red; the main subjects on coats of arms have been the lion and the eagle (artsiv) \u2013 basic Indo-European totems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
