It flies a Шаблон:Convert Flag of Tajikistan weighing Шаблон:Convert.[4]

Construction

The flagpole consists of 12-metre sections of steel tube fitted together by crane.[5]

The design phase for the flagpole began in July 2009. Fabrication of the pole's sections was completed in Dubai in October 2010. The sections were then shipped to Dushanbe, where construction of the flagpole began on November 24, 2010, Tajikistan's National Flag Day.[6] The final assembly and erection took place during April and May 2011, with the first test flight of the flag of Tajikistan taking place on May 24, 2011.[7]

The flagpole cost $3.5 million and was part of $210 million worth of projects celebrating the 20th anniversary of Tajik independence.[8]
