The State Bayraq of the Maqtajeri Republic is a banner used by Maqtajer as a state emblem, equal in status to the flag of Maqtajer. It is used to represent both the presidency and the government, in addition to their own symbols, and is used prominently in government-run institutions such as the courts and municipal governments. It was first adopted in 1992 and was designed following the Chanchuvidze Accord to be the new symbol of the Maqtajeri state, and therefore derives no direct meaning from any existing bayraq but employs the national colours and symbols of hope.
Description
Bayraq is a Turkic word for a banner. In Maqtajer, the term refers specifically to a vertical banner of a type traditionally used as the symbol of a Turkic tribe or warlord in southwest Sythith. The traditional bayraq bears its charge at its head, the point at which it would have been fixed to a long pole, and tassels at its base. The bayraq was not a war flag, but rather was most often used, frequently in pairs, to mark the perimeter of a tribal camp or the tent or seat of the tribe's warlord.
The national Bayraq bears as its charge a sun or without its lowermost tongue, seated atop a series of diamonds of varying sizes: two diamonds azur topmost flanking a diamond argent which encloses a diamond gules that encloses a further diamond argent and inmost a diamond azur. Two diamonds azur flank the bottom of this diamond and the top of a diamond argent which encloses a large diamond gules. Two more diamonds azur flank a diamond argent which is a repeat of the first, i.e. it encloses a diamond gules that encloses a further diamond argent and inmost a diamond azur. Two tassels or hang from the bottom of the Bayraq.
