A first flag appeared on 11 October 1990: it was the one of Bashkor Popular Party, with three horizontal strips: skyblue (for Turkish people), green (Islam) and white (purity). On 25 February 1992 the local Soviet approved another flag, with the same colors in a different order (skyblue - white - green) and a golden flower in a white circle. The flower is called "kurai" (Phragmites communis Trin.) that is the Bashkor rose, which grows only in that region and it is used to make musical instruments. It has seven petals for the seven tribes.
