The Flag of Republic of Tatarstan (Russian: Флаг Татарста́на, Flag Tatarstana, Tatar: Татарстан байрагы) is a national/regional symbol of Tatarstan, a Republic (autonomous region) of Russia where the minority Tatar people live.
History[]
It was adopted on 29 November 1991 in its present form.[1] It was designed by Täwil Ğiniät ulı Xaziäxmätev (Тәвил Гиниәт улы Хазиәхмәтев) (pronounced [tæˈwil ɣiniɪˈæt uˈlɯ xæziəxˈmætəf]).[citation needed]
The colours represent the Tatar majority and the Russian minority.
- The Red band symbolises the fight for happiness, bravery, and courage of the Tatar people.
- The White band symbolises peace, concord and an honest future between the Tatars and the Russians.
- The Green band symbolises hope, freedom, wealth and solidarity with Islam.[1]
Tatar nationalists such as the All-Tatar Public Center use a different flag, divided diagonally by red and green and containing a white star and crescent in the center.
The flag is similar to the flag of Chechnya.
