PanARMENIAN.Net - Azeyol Champions League women's volleyball team
caused a major stir among Azeri fans, according to Sport.1news.az.
According to the website, the Azeri team's new uniform features the
Armenian Tricolor.
"We wonder whose "brilliant" idea it was? If the uniform was offered
by a foreign company, why did Azeryol approve it? Why would they
use this very same succession of colors rather than the colors of
Azerbaijani flag?" the website questions.
The national flag of Armenia, the Armenian Tricolor consists of three
horizontal bands of equal width, red on the top, blue in the middle,
and orange (also described as "colour of apricot") on the bottom.
The official definition of the colors, as stated in the Constitution
of the Republic of Armenia, is: "The Red emblematizes the Armenian
Highland, the Armenian people's continued struggle for survival,
maintenance of the Christian faith, Armenia's independence and
freedom. The Blue emblematizes the will of the people of Armenia to
live beneath peaceful skies. The Orange emblematizes the creative
talent and hard-working nature of the people of Armenia."
