'''[[Tajikistan]]''' was the last of the former [[Soviet]] republics to reveal a new '''flag''' ({{lang-tg|Парчами Тоҷикистон}}, ''Parcami Toçikiston''), which was adopted in November 1992. The one common link between this and the [[Flag of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic|1953 SSR flag]] is the choice of colors - red, white and green. The former [[Tajik SSR]], sometimes referred to as the "Tadzhik SSR" ({{lang-ru|Таджикская ССР}}), added white and green stripes to the [[flag of the USSR]]. The striping also emphasizes Tajikistan's [[Persian Empire|Persian]] culture, as [[Iran]]'s flag has the same stripes (although red and green are reversed). |

The [[Crown (headgear)|crown]] represents the [[Tajik people]], the name itself arguably is derived from ''tajvar'', which means "crowned". In traditional Tajik cultural aspects the number "seven" is a symbol of perfection, the embodiment of happiness and the provider of virtue. According to Tajik [[legend]], [[Jannat|Islamic heaven]] is composed of seven beautiful orchids, separated by seven mountains each with a glowing [[star]] on top. The middle white stripe is one-and-a-half times the size of the red and green stripes. The red represents the unity of the nation and the symbol of the sun and victory; the white represents purity, [[cotton]], the snow on the mountains and the unity of the people; and green stands for the spiritual meaning of [[Islam]] and represents the generosity of nature of the country. The symbol charged in the middle of the white stripe is a crown surmounted by an arc of seven stars.<ref>Embassy of Tajikistan [http://www.tjus.org/State1.htm State Symbols]</ref> |

On August 30, 2011 the Flagpole featuring the National Flag of Tajikistan was officially inaugurated. The flagpole places Tajikistan in the Guinness Book of Records for the home to the highest Flag Stock in the World, standing at 165m tall, and the flag measuring 60m wide and 30m high.[http://www.ozodi.tj/content/article/24312909.html (Ozodi Radio)] |
