If you are scrapbooking or obtaining information for a report for your child about his or her birth country – as always – I like to try to provide some informational links:
Oriental Express – Central Asia
http://www.kazakhstan.orexca.com/
or
Silk Road Paintings (Kazakhstan)
http://www.kazakhcrafts.com/
They both contain a wealth of information and I hope to touch base on a few items and information that may interest you:
The National Flag of the Republic of Kazakhstan
On June 4th of 1992, this became the flag for Kazakhstan. It is sky-blue in color with a golden sun (32 rays) in the center and below is the soaring steppe eagle. The national ornament goes down vertically on the left of the flag. The sun, its rays, eagle and ornament are gold. This flag represents a presidential democracy – whose values are its people, their lives, rights and freedoms.
The National Emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan
(taken from Oriental Express’s site) – The golden and blue and sky-blue national emblem of the Republic of Kazakhstan is a picture of a shanyrak (the cupola of a yurta) on a blue background, from which uyks like sun rays are being radiated towards the wings of mythical horses. Kazakhstan is written at the bottom of the emblem.
