Europa - National Birds

The postage stamp is fully illustrated inspired by the Armenian miniatures. The postage stamp depicts the barn swallow (Hirundo rustica) sitting on a branch in an environment typical for the flora of Armenia.

The stamp is issued in the frames of “EUROPA” international program of the Association of European Postal Operators (PostEurop). EUROPA stamps underline cooperation in the posts domain, taking into account promotion of philately and building awareness of the common roots, culture, history of Europe and its common goals.
