The issue of changing the coat of arms of Armenia has been formulated, there is a need to think in that regard, but there is no specific working group at the moment. Zhanna Andreasyan, the Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports, told reporters about this on Thursday.

"It is necessary to think about the issues that may need to be changed. As the minister in charge of the sector, I must listen to the professionals because it is a very specific matter. I believe we have something to think about," said the minister.

According to Andreasyan, a professional group had started working on the matter five years ago, and now there is a need to return to that process.

"Many layers are depicted in the matter; for example, of a lion. At this moment I do not want to enter into a professional conversation. We do not give up our history, we just need to understand how we treat the present, the symbols of our state must reflect our country of today," the minister emphasized.
