At the 11th summit of the heads of state of the Organization of Turkic States (OTG), held in Bishkek, a new flag of the organization was adopted and presented.

According to the Report agency, the new flag depicts an octagon, a crescent with a star, and a sun with straight rays in the center on a blue background.

The blue background (Pantone 3125C) symbolizes a clear sky, peace and prosperity, and expresses the unity of the Turkic peoples. The octagon represents the centuries-old Turkic statehood, symbolizing stability, interconnectedness and strength based on a common cultural heritage.

The sun with forty evenly diverging rays represents light, openness and vitality, embodying common values and vision that illuminate the path of the Turkic world to a brighter and more prosperous future.

The crescent and star are a well-known symbol of Turkic statehood, growth, aspiration to the future and progress, reflecting the dynamic and aspiring spirit of the Organization.
