Flag of Tajikistan
The flag of Tajikistan consists of three horizontal stripes of red, white and green. In addition, in the middle of the white stripe there is a golden emblem of a crown, above which rise seven five-pointed stars. The colors of the flag are inspired by the Tajik flag from the days of Soviet domination. The red color serves as a reminder of the country’s communist past, the white stripe refers to cotton production, and the green stripe refers to Tajikistan’s advanced agricultural production. The gold stars represent friendship towards other countries and the crown symbolizes the sovereignty of the country. Tajikistan adopted a national flag after the collapse of the USSR quite late compared to other newly formed states, only in 1992.
