TAJIKISTAN ~ FOTW ~

... Nice new FOTW flag... the national flag of Tajikistan is a tricolor featuring three horizontal bands of red,white and green with a central gold crown and seven stars and was adopted in 1992... the red color represents sunrise, victory, and unity of the Tajik people... the color also symbolizes the former Russian and Soviet rule, and how the nation fought hard to attain its independence... the white color symbolizes cotton, snow, and ice on the mountains, as well as purity and morality... the green color represents the natural wealth and fertile valleys of Tajikistan, as well as the celebration of the festival of Novruz... Green is also a symbol of Islam - the country's predominant religion... the crown on the flag symbolizes the Tajik people since ‘taj’ in Tajikistan means 'crown.'... the seven stars signify the importance of the Tajik magic number "seven" in the country’s traditions – as it is believed to be associated with a symbol of perfection and the embodiment of happiness...
