Узбекистоннинг миллий рамзлари

Description of Flag Uzbekistan was the first central Asia republic to declare its sovereignty and to adopt post-Communist symbols. The flag of Uzbekistan is a light blue over white over light green tricolor, with thin red stripes separating the three stripes. In the upper hoist corner is a white crescent and 12 white stars. Even though, the crescent is a symbol of Islam, the symbolism for the crescent moon is described as being representative of the rebirth of the nation, rather than its religion. The 12 stars stand for the zodiac. White is for peace, green for nature, and red for the life force. The blue stripe stands for eternal night and for water as a fundamental source of life. The State Emblem Of Uzbekistan Adopted July, 1992 The State emblem presents the image of the raising sun over the flourishing valley surrounded by a garland compound of the wheat ears from the right side and branches of cotton with open cotton bolls from the left side. The eight -angled star is placed in the upper of the Emblem symbolizing the unity and confirmation of the republic. The crescent and star inside the eight-angled are the sacred symbols of the Moslems. The legendary bird Semurg with the stretched wings is placed in the center of the Emblem as the symbol of the national Renaissance. The entire composition aims on expression of the desire of the Uzbek people for peace, happiness and prosperity. Beneath the composition there goes the inscription in the Uzbek language "Uzbekistan" written on the ribbon in the national colors of the flag of the Republic.
