The anthem of the Republic of Armenia should be changed sooner or later. Alain Simonyan

RA NA Speaker Alen Simonyan wrote in the Telegram channel.

"It is evident to me that sooner or later, the anthem of the Republic of Armenia must be changed; it must be Armenian, connect with our state and Armenian music, and be by the rules of the anthem. I do not claim that it should be replaced by the music of the great Aram Khachatryan, which is magnificent, unsurpassed, and maximally Armenian. Still, changing the existing foreign-born anthem is a necessity.

We should also discuss the issue of changing the coat of arms. At least Armenia cannot be underwater, which was a punishment for humanity; the lion cannot be like a Facebook smiley, and the sword protecting Armenia cannot be chained."
