The Kurdistan Flag was first used to represent the independence movement and the Kurds hard struggle for their independence from the clutches of the Toman Empire. The Kurdistan Flag was first used by the brave leaders of the Khoyboun. In 1920, the Kurdistan Flag was displayed to members in the international delegation, this happened at the famous Paris Peace Conference.

Subsequently, this made a plan in order to help the Kurdish establish independence. The Khoyboun first proclaimed the formation of their first ever “Kurdish Government in Exile,” under the Kurdistan Flag, in 1927. They ended up battling in a long war that finally ended in 1932. Their independence had been taken away since the year 1848.

The Kurdistan Flag, also known as the “sunny flag,” was first brought into parliament in 1946, during the establishment of the Republic of Kurdistan at Mehabad.

Now, the third and current version of the flag is being used by all Kurds.
