The State Emblem of the Republic of Uzbekistan Исполнитель

The State Emblem of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

The new State Emblem of the Republic of Uzbekistan has been elaborated on the basis of many centuries of national public experience of the Uzbek people.

   The State emblem of the Republic of Uzbekistan presents the image of the raising sun over the flourishing valley surrounded by a garland compound of the wheat ears from the right side and branches of cotton with opened cotton bolls from the left side.

         The eight-angled star is placed in the upper of the Emblem symbolizing the unity and confirmation of the republic. The crescent and star inside the eight-angled star are the sacred symbols of the Moslems. The legendary bird Semurg with the stretched wings is placed in the center of the Emblem as the symbol of the national Renaissance. The entire composition aims on the expression of the desire of the Uzbek people for peace, happiness and prosperity. Behind the composition there goes the inscription in the Uzbek language Uzbekistan written on the ribbon in the national colors of the flag of the Republic.
