May 18: Constitution and Flag Day (Turkmenistan)

Constitution and Flag Day is observed in Turkmenistan every May 18 as a public holiday that celebrates the adoption of the country's constitution and its national flag. Established in 2017 by the Assembly of Turkmenistan, this holiday merged the previously separate Flag Day and Revival, Unity and Magtymguly Poetry Day. The constitution, adopted on May 18, 1992, serves as the supreme law of Turkmenistan, while the national flag, adopted on February 19, 1992, features a green field, a red stripe, a white crescent, and five stars representing the country's regions. Celebrations typically include solemn ceremonies, with a prominent flag hoisting ceremony taking place in the capital city of Ashgabat. The flag's design incorporates traditional Turkmen elements, such as guls and olive branches, symbolizing the nation's culture and neutrality.
