The Flag of Kurdistan (Kurdish: ''Alay Kurdistan'' or ''Alaya Kurdistanê'', ئاڵای کوردستان, also called ''Alaya Rengîn'' "The Colorful Flag") first appeared during the movement for Kurdish independence from the Ottoman Empire. Consisting of a tricolor of red, white, and green horizontal bands with a yellow sun disk of 21 rays at its center, it is currently the official flag of the autonomous Kurdistan Region in Iraq, which is under the control of the Kurdistan Regional Government. The flag resembles an earlier version created by the Xoybûn (Khoyboon) organization, active in the Ararat rebellion of 1930,〔, Kurdish Institute of Paris.〕 and flown by the break-away Republic of Ararat during the period 1927-1931. The current flag appeared then again in 1932 and in the media where one if its creators described it as red, white and green with a sun in the middle. A similar flag was later used by the Soviet-backed Kurdish Republic known as the Republic of Mahabad in 1946. The main characteristic of the flag is the blazing golden sun emblem (called a ''Roj'') at its center. The emblem's sun disk has 21 rays, equal in size and shape. 21 is a venerated number, standing for rebirth/renaissance in the ancient and native Kurdish religion of Yazdanism and its modern offshoots, Yezidism and Yarsanism.

It was instantly adopted by the international Flag Institute. Subsequently, in AD 1999, the Parliament of the Kurdish Regional Government KRG (Iraqi Kurdistan) with the passage of legislation #14 adopted the standardized flag as described in that work to be the official and standard presentation of the Kurdish National Flag in all its aspects. It has since been widely adopted worldwide as the national flag of Kurdistan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flag of Kurdistan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
