On November 23, 2020, the Supreme Economic Court held a meeting dedicated to the celebration of the National Flag’s Day of the Republic of Tajikistan.
The Chairman of the Supreme Economic Court of the Republic of Tajikistan Kalandarzoda Mavluda opened the meeting and noticed that the flag is one of the important symbols of statehood and has a special place in the history of Tajik statehood. According to historical sources, the flag of our nation has a history of more than 4000 years.
The history of the statehood of the Aryan ancestors shows that the realm of the period adopted and used symbols, signs, symbols and other means to express the existence of their state.
Among the symbols, the flag has a colorful and ancient history. Archaeological research has shown that the flag-raising of the Aryan people dates back to the period of the Peshdadi and Kayanid dynasties, which heralds the liberation of our people at the origin of the statehood of mankind.
In the world-famous Tajik and Persian literature, including the poems of Rudaki, Firdavsi, Saadi, Daqiqi, Nosiri Khusrav, Nizami Ganjavi, Mavlonoi Rumi and others, the greatness of the flag is described as a symbol of patriotism.
Nowadays, each recognized state has its own national shrine – its national flag. Indeed, the adoption of the Flag has given a new meaning and content to the process of statehood and the life and thinking of our people.
National Flag is the pride of every independent Tajikistan’s citizen, a symbol of unity and solidarity, honor, patriotism and national identity of our cultural people and reflects the creative goals of the Tajiks in its colors.

That is, the National Flag is a good result of the above-mentioned session of the Supreme Council and its peers.
The National Flag’s adoption came at a very sensitive, crucial and complex period in the history of our people, when independence was still in its first steps, but the existence of the state and nation was in real danger.
The National Flag’s adoption at such a crucial time is the highest patriotic initiative and the first attempt to eliminate the threat to the ancient state and nation.
The people of Tajikistan and its courageous young people under the leadership of The Founder of Peace and National Unity, Leader of the Nation, President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon came together under the flag of the nation, ended the civil war, brought peace and tranquility to the country. The moments of kissing the National Flag at the historic Session and the promise of peace to its land and people proved the loyalty of the Head of State to the Motherland and the respect and dignity of the National Flag.

The Law of the Republic of Tajikistan “On State Symbols of the Republic of Tajikistan” regulates our state symbols, including the order of raising and use of the National Flag, as well as the placement of the image of the Flag of the Republic of Tajikistan, respect and devotion to them as state symbols.
In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Tajikistan “On Public Holidays”, the National Flag’s Day is celebrated throughout the country, annually, on November 24 with pride of the state and statehood and thanks to the era of independence and sovereignty.

Since the day our nation received the Flag, many fundamental changes have taken place in the life of the country and society, and favorable conditions have been created for the development of all spheres of the economy, science, education and spirituality.
Friendship and cooperation, including diplomatic, economic and cultural links with many foreign countries have expanded, our country has become a full member of the United Nations and other influential international organizations and today our national flag is placed next to the flags of other countries in high world organizations. This, of course, is a source of pride, encouragement and respect for all our compatriots.
