Kurdistan Flag Day is celebrated annually on December 17 since 2009 when the Parliament of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq passed a law to commemorate the Kurdistan Republic.
In 2009, the Kurdistan Region Parliament declared December 17 to mark the Kurdish national flag day since it was first officially used by the Republic of Kurdistan known as the Republic of Mahabad on December 17, 1946.
The National Flag of Kurdistan was first introduced at the Paris Peace Conference in 1920 by the early leaders of the Kurdish nationalist movement, Khoyboun.
Ever since the early 20th century, the Kurdistan flag has been a symbol of great national pride for Kurds in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey and across the world.
