 Flag ratio: 1:2
Tajikistan was the last of the former Soviet republics to reveal a new flag (Tajik: Парчами Тоҷикистон, Parcami Toçikiston), which was adopted in November 1992. The one common link between this and the 1953 SSR flag is the choice of colors - red, white and green. The former Tajikistan SSR, sometimes referred to as the "Tadzhik SSR" (Russian: Таджикская ССР), added white and green stripes to the flag of the USSR. The striping also emphasizes Tajikistan's Persian culture, as Iran's flag has the same stripes (although red and green are reversed).
The middle white stripe is one-and-a-half times the size of the red and green stripes. The red represents the unity of the nation; the white represents cotton and the unity of the people; and green represents the nature of the country. The symbol charged in the middle of the white stripe is a crown surmounted by an arc of seven stars. 1
