History Of Kyrgyzstan Flag

By Gabriel Spark


Kyrgyzstan, also known as the Kyrgyz Republic, is located in northern East Asia. Kyrgyz history can be traced at least to the 1st-century BCE. The probable abodes of the early Kyrgyz were in the upper Yenisey River valley of central Siberia, and the Tashtyk culture, an amalgam of Asiatic and European peoples, may have been theirs. Chinese and Muslim sources of the 7thâ€"12th centuries BCE describe the Kyrgyz as red-haired with fair complexion and green (blue) eyes.

The native Kyrgyz are a Turkic people who first settled in the Tien Shan mountains. They were traditionally pastoral nomads. Due to extensive Russian colonization in the 1900s, Russian settlers were given much of the best agricultural land. This led to an unsuccessful and disastrous revolt by the Kyrgyz people in 1916.

Kyrgyzstan became part of the Soviet Federated Socialist Republic in 1924 and was made an autonomous republic in 1926. It became a constituent republic of the USSR in 1936. Kyrgyzstan proclaimed its independence from the Soviet Union on Aug. 31, 1991.

The current flag of Kyrgyzstan was implemented on March 3, 1992. It was the decision of the Supreme Council of Kyrgyzstan to adopt the post-communist flag for their country. The flag is made up of a red area with a yellow sun positioned at its center. The sun has forty regularly distanced rays. In the center of the sun is a ring crisscrossed with three lines. The symbol behind the red color of the flag is for bravery and valor while the signification of the sun means peace and wealth.

The red color of the banner symbolizes valour and courage. This color was also on the banner of Manas, the hero of the famous Kyrgyz epic. In addition, the word "Kyrgyz" corresponds to the word "red", as a red color was traditionally venerated and considered a national color from times immemorial. The sun, bathing in its rays is a symbol of light, an eternity of existence, peace and wealth. Image of the sun resembles a roofing of Kirghiz nomads` typical yurt. This is a symbol of warmth and hospitality, the unity of time and space, the source of life and solidarity. 40 rays signify forty Kyrgyz tribes.

Tunduk embodies a paternal house, which also to wider extent represents the world as the universe and cohesion of the peoples living in the republic. The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Kyrgyzstan Flag for the future.
