shantnews.am Currently, there is no legal regulation in Armenia that would mandate the installation of the state flag of the Republic of Armenia at the entrances of all settlements. In practice, state flags have been installed in some communities through local initiatives, but there is no unified approach or mandatory requirement. As a result, the state flag is absent at the entrances of many settlements or is in an improper condition, which does not ensure the full and proportional representation of state symbols throughout the territory of the Republic of Armenia. This was stated by Alkhaz Ghazaryan, a member of the "Civil Contract" faction, during the extraordinary session of the National Assembly held on July 2, while presenting the draft law on amendments to the law "On the Flag of the Republic of Armenia," co-authored by him and the Speaker of the National Assembly, Alen Simonyan, in the first reading.
The co-author of the draft also noted that the state flag of the Republic of Armenia is one of the most important symbols of statehood, sovereignty, and national dignity, and added that the draft establishes a mandatory condition that the state flag must be installed at the main entrances of the administrative territories of each community in the Republic of Armenia, the presence of which will strengthen national self-awareness, create a unified state environment, have educational and cultural significance, and promote respect for state symbols among citizens and visitors.
The positive conclusion of the Permanent Commission on State and Legal Issues was presented by commission member Anush Kloyan.
The government's position was presented by Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Arnak Avetisyan. The representative of the agency informed that the draft has been revised based on the proposals of the Government, and therefore the executive has given a positive conclusion to it.
