Which flag is that? Anyone have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Most likely the Ardashesian flag, or even the Arshagouni flag... I'm glad that the Armenian Church is preserving these ancient customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
