Soviet Armenia or the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic was
proclaimed on November 29, 1920 by the Armenian Communists.
Gevork Nazaryan, 24 Mar 2001
After the three republics
(Armenia,
Azerbaidjan,
and Georgia)
had been conquered by the Red Army, a
Transcaucasian Socialist
Federal Soviet Republic was formed in 1922,
becoming a Union Republic of the USSR in the
same year. In 1936 this republic was abolished
and Armenia, Azerbaidjan, and Georgia were
established as Union Republics.
Jarig Bakker, 26 Mar 1999,
quoting
Everyman’s Concise Encyclopaedia of Russia,
S. V. Utechin, 1961

The four Armenian letters correspond to "H-Kh-S-H", that most probably
stand for, by Western Armenian pronunciation, to "Hayasdani Khorhurtayin
Sovedagan Hanrabedutyun", which means "Armenian Soviet Socialist
Republic".

The Armenian letters correspond to "H-S-S-R", that most probably stand
for "Hayastani Sovetakan Sotsialistikakan Respublika" (this one in
Eastern pronunciation), which means "Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic",
again but with more "Armenised" Russian words. It just shows how much
Russian influence had been brought into the society of Soviet Armenia by
then. Even proper Armenian spelling within the republic was changed.

This flag was replaced by a new one
