Coat of arms of the Turkmen SSR
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The coat of arms of the Turkmen SSR was adopted on March 2, 1937 by the government of the Turkmen SSR. The coat of arms is based on the coat of arms of the Soviet Union. It shows symbols of agriculture (cotton and wheat) and heavy industry (oil derrick and pipeline) as well as a symbol of the Turkmen people, a carpet. The rising sun stands for the future of the Turkmen nation, the red star as well as the hammer and sickle for the victory of communism and the "world-wide socialist community of states".
The slogan on the banner reads "Proletarians of all countries, unite!" in both the Russian and Turkmen languages. In the Soviet Turkmen transliteration, the sentence was Әxли юртлариң пролетарлары, бирлешиң! In today's Latin script of the language, it would read Ähli ýurtlaryň proletarlary, birleşiň!
The acronym of the TSSR is shown only once, since it reads the same in the Russian and Turkmen alphabets.
The emblem was changed in 1992 to the present coat of arms of Turkmenistan.
