A year after independence was regained, in
1992, Turkmenistan adopted a new national flag of
extraordinary complexity. In the hoist of a relatively
straightforward green flag with a white crescent and stars
(symbolizing Islam) are placed five traditional carpet designs
or 'guls'. The hoist stripe itself is dark red, while the guls
are primarily in black, white
and orange. Turkmenistan is famous for its carpets and each
tribe has its own distinctive gul. Since the five guls in the
flag are reportedly named after five tribes, they presumably
stand for the various tribal groupings in
the country.
Each flag shown is
the flag used by that
nation's government and displayed at the U.N.
headquarters. Where noted the "civil" flag is also
available. It is identical to the "government" flag except
the seal is omitted.
Flags for Outdoor use are made of 100% heavyweight
nylon and finished with strong canvas headings and brass
grommets.
