In the upper right portion, there is a two-headed eagle, the emblem of the first dynasty to reign over Christian Armenia, the Arsacid Dynasty, which ruled from the first century to 428. The Bagratuni kingdom was destroyed by the Byzantine Empire's encroachment and by Seljuk conquests in the 11th century. Under this dynasty, Armenia blossomed culturally, making its capital, Ani, one of the most important cultural, social and commercial centers of its time. In the upper left portion, there is a lion with a cross, the emblem for the Bagratuni Dynasty that ruled during the Middle Ages, between the 9th and 11th centuries. In the lower left portion of the shield, there are two eagles looking at each other, symbolizing the length of the Armenian territory during the reign of the Artaxiad Dynasty that ruled from the second century B.C. Surrounding Mount Ararat are symbols of old Armenian dynasties. Ararat is considered the national symbol of Armenia and thus is of principal importance to the coat of arms. According to tradition, the ark is said to have finally rested on the mountain after the great flood. In the center is a depiction of the Mount Ararat with Noah's Ark sitting atop it. The shield itself consists of many components. In 1992, a slightly modified version of the coat of arms of the first republic was adopted and has remained in place ever since. The Soviet Union broke apart in 1991 and Armenia thus became an independent republic. The Kremlin retorted that, although the Turkish symbol was the crescent, surely it did not mean that they laid claim to the moon. The inclusion of Mount Ararat brought objections from Turkey because the mountain is part of its territory. Like the coat of arms of the first independent republic, this one prominently featured Mount Ararat along with the Soviet hammer and sickle and red star behind it. Main article: Emblem of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic Prior to 1992, Armenia had an emblem similar to all other Soviet Republics. Like other post-Soviet republics whose symbols do not predate the October Revolution, the current emblem retained one component of the Soviet one such as the Mount Ararat on the shield. Numerous Armenian dynasties such as Artaxiad, Arsacid, Bagratuni and Rubenid, used these symbols as their royal insignia.
These symbols are found on the Armenian Highland from times immemorial. The eagle and lion are ancient Armenian symbols dating from the first Armenian kingdoms that existed prior to Christ. The coat of arms combines new and old symbols. It consists of an eagle and a lion supporting a shield. On June 15, 2006, the Armenian Parliament passed the law on the state coat of arms of Armenia. The national coat of arms of Armenia ( Armenian: Հայաստանի զինանշանը, Hayastani zinanshan) was adopted on April 19, 1992, by resolution of the Armenian Supreme Council.
