We Are The Descendants Of Archer Hayk Nahapet

This is the best (if not the main) symbol that the Armed Forces of Armenia should have. The arrow and bow since ancient times have symbolized the Armenian army and its founder Archer Hayk Nahapet. The eagle has symbolized the Armenian freedom-loving spirit of Haykazuni.

Unfortunately, we do not study our symbols properly, and those who do usually do it without enthusiasm and without a thorough study of the corresponding Armenian symbols.
