Intellectuals in Armenia continue to debate on whether we need to
change the coat of arms and national anthem. The issue has divided
our intellectuals into two teams.
"Our coat of arms seems to be a symbol of coward and retreating
policy," says Karen Aghamyan, Chairman of the Artists' Union of
Armenia. He adds that a state commission has been set up for changing
the coat of arms.
Mkrtich Minasyan, Chairman of the Union of Architects, suggests using
a changed version of the coat of arms that was drawn by prominent
Armenian painter Martiros Saryan.
Sculptor Ferdinand Arakelyan also approves the version created by
Martiros Saryan in which he sees kindness and optimism.
Details are available in the video.
