The national flag of Tajikistan (парчами давлатии Тоҷикистон) was adopted in November 1992, replacing the flag of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic of 1953. The flag features Iranian colors in a horizontal tricolor of red, white, and green, with a yellow crown surmounted by an arc of seven stars at the centre. It has a width ratio of 2:3:2.[2] The tricolor preserves the choice of colors in the former Tajik Soviet flag, as well as the 1:2 proportions.

The flag day is celebrated on 24 November,[3][4] which is the day it was officially adopted.[1]

The red color is a color of unification of republic and brotherhood with other nations of the world."
