The flag of Turkmenistan is rich in symbolism and color, prominently featuring green, white, red, and a dash of yellow. The main background of the flag is a deep green, symbolizing the nation’s Islamic heritage and its verdant landscapes. Along the hoist side, there is a vertical stripe composed of five traditional carpet guls representing the five major tribes of Turkmenistan: Teke, Yomut, Saryk, Chowdur, and Arsary. These carpet designs are set against a claret red background, which adds a striking contrast to the green. Interspersed between the guls are olive branches depicted in white, symbolizing peace and neutrality, fundamental principles in Turkmenistan’s foreign policy. Additionally, a white crescent and five white stars occupy the upper left corner of the flag, standing against the green field. The crescent is a common Islamic symbol, representing faith and the new moon, while the five stars signify the five regions of the country.
