Description
This Turkmenistan flag is manufactured in the United States from nylon, a lightweight fabric that flies proudly, even in gentle breezes. Nylon is also a quick-drying material, which helps prevent mildew growth after rain and humidity. The guls, crescent, and stars are digitally printed for precision and rich, deep colors.
Each flag comes equipped with a robust canvas header and brass grommets for easy mounting on any standard outdoor flagpole. We offer the Turkmenistan flag in sizes 2’ x 3’, 3’ x 5’, 4’ x 6’, 5’ x 8’, and 6’ x 10’. If you aren’t sure which option is right for you, check out our table of common pole heights and their proportional flag size.

Turkmenistan Flag Meaning & History
The first version of Turkmenistan’s modern flag was adopted in 1992, following the country’s independence after the dissolution of the USSR. An exhibit was held at which artists from across the nation displayed their proposal for the national flag. The winning design was made official on February 19 and flown for the first time on March 21. The flag has undergone two minor changes since, creating the current design.
The green background and white crescent are symbols of Islam, the country’s majority religion. The green also represents prosperity and peace, while the five white stars stand for the five regions of Turkmenistan: Ahal, Balkan, Daşoguz, Lebap, and Mary.
The stripe on the left contains five guls, patterns used in traditional carpet design. Each gul represents an ethnic group of Turkmenistan: the Teke, Yomut, Saryk, Chowdur, and Ersari. The olive branches below the guls symbolize peace.
