NOVEMBER 18, 2024 — Today, Uzbekistan celebrates 33 years since the adoption of its State Flag, a key national symbol enshrined by law shortly after the country’s independence in 1991, Podrobno.uz reports.
As part of the celebrations, the record-breaking hundred-meter-long national flag of Uzbekistan arrived in Tashkent, having journeyed from Khorezm and stopping in various cities along the way.
The flag’s arrival coincides with the anniversary of the adoption of the law “On the State Flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan.”
Festivities in the capital included the traditional Horse Parade, held on November 16 along Amir Temur Avenue, according to the UZ Daily.
According to Yeni Şafak, the national flag of Uzbekistan, a rectangular tricolor of blue, white, and green separated by thin red lines, carries rich symbolism. Blue represents the clear skies and water, as well as the cherished heritage of Amir Temur. White symbolizes peace, purity, and the aspirations of the independent state. Green emphasizes nature, renewal, and Uzbekistan’s unique ecology. The red lines symbolize life energy and vitality.
Additionally, the crescent moon and twelve stars depicted on the flag hold cultural and spiritual significance, representing peace, rebirth, the twelve months of the year, and a striving for wisdom and perfection deeply rooted in the nation’s traditions.
