History

Uzbekistan adopted this flag on 18 November 1991 after independence, becoming the first newly independent Central Asian republic to replace its Soviet-era flag. The blue stripe represents the sky, water, and Turkic heritage; white symbolizes peace, purity, and the traditional wish for a good path; green stands for nature, fertility, and new life. The thin red lines signify the life-force of the people, while the crescent marks national rebirth and historic Uzbek imagery, and the twelve stars refer to the months, the zodiac, and Uzbekistan’s astronomical legacy.
