Meaning of the Flag

The national flag of Uzbekistan, officially the state flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan, consists of a horizontal triband of celestial blue, white and green, separated by two thin red fimbriations, with a white crescent moon and twelve white stars in the canton. Adopted in 1991 to replace the flag of the Uzbek Soviet Socialist Republic, it has been the flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan since the country gained independence in that same year. The red fimbriations represent the power of life. The stars represent the provinces of the Country, as well as an allusion to Uzbek historical tradition and calendar. === Construction sheet === == History == Under Soviet rule, the Union Republic – situated in what is now modern-day Uzbekistan – utilised a flag derived from the flag of the Soviet Union and representing Communism, that was approved in 1952.
