TEXT 
Flag of Uzbekistan 
The flag of Uzbekistan was approved at the Seventh Extraordinary 
Session of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Uzbekistan, on 
November 18, 1991. 
The national flag of the Republic of Uzbekistan is a colored cloth 
consisting of three horizontal stripes: blue, white and green. The color 
blue represents water and the sky, white symbolizes holy peace, green 
symbolizes nature, and the red stripes symbolize the power of life. 
The depiction of the crescent is connected to historical traditions 
of Uzbekistan. The 12 stars are representative of spiritual and divine 
symbols. The significance of the number 12 (the number of months in 
an astronomical calendar) is the development of astronomy and 
scientific thought in Uzbekistan. There were also 12 principles that 
were used to lay the foundation of the Uzbek state.
