Proposed Anthem of Armenia “Հայոց օրհներգը”

The lyrics of "Mer Hayrenik" promotes the worthiness of "dying for the freedom" of Armenia. Its discussion of death, however, has led several commentators to complain that the anthem is overly "wimpy" and "gloomy". Specifically, some members of the National Assembly are of the opinion that the song - written at the time of the first fight for independence - does not accurately reflect the present era of triumph and success. However, none of the proposals to replace "Mer Hayrenik" have come to fruition, as the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun) - which were part of the coalition government - have so far resisted efforts to change the national anthem.
A debate of the national anthem was a question in the Armenian Parliament in 2006 and 2019. The new government had called for the restoration of the Soviet era anthem with newer lyrics in its place.

I prefer this over the new anthem

well, yesz

[@kevboi8]

as an armenian, the most likely reason this has not been chosen as the new anthem is because the music is the same as the ssr's anthem, but i still think this should be put in place, same with germany using the east german anthem with different lyrics (a banger)

[@dodykusumanto8377]

They should change their anthem with this.

I'd like to see another revision with the same energy, power, and tempo as the Armenian SSR anthem

Just for the fact it’s composed by the great Aram Khachaturian should make it the national anthem of Armenia, just change the Soviet parts in the lyrics and it would be the perfect anthem for the modern Republic of Armenia!
