The flag of Tatarstan (Tatar: Татарстан байрагы, Tatarstan bayrağı, Russian: Флаг Татарста́на, Flag Tatarstana); a republic of Russia, was introduced in 1991.
The Supreme Council of the Tatar Soviet Socialist Republic adopted the flag on 29 November 1991 in its present form.[1] It was designed by T.G. Khaziakhmetov (Tawil Xaciəxmətov).[2]
The Tatar Encyclopedia states: "The flag is a state symbol that expresses the sovereignty of the Republic of Tatarstan, the identity and traditions of the people of Tatarstan. The national flag of the Republic of Tatarstan consists of a rectangular panel with horizontal stripes of green, white and red. The white stripe is 1/15 of the flag's width and is located between equal-width stripes of green and red. The green stripe is at the top. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is 1:2."[3]
According to official explanation;
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.
