Summary
| Description |
English: Seypidin Azizi, the first Chairman of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, mentions the display of a white flag with the shahada in golden text in Ghulja (Yining), during the time of the (Second) East Turkestan Republic (1944–1946). In his biographical work The Eagle of Tian Shan – The Life of Abdulkerim Abbas, Azizi describes a meeting he had with other Uyghur political leaders the day after the founding of the East Turkestan Republic. Azizi was the first to speak, expressing his confusion at the sudden turn of events in Ghulja: "Early this morning, many flags appeared on the street. One was a green field with a white star and crescent, and the other was a white field with 'There is no god but God; Muhammad is the messenger of God,' written with gold powder. What is going on?" The exact design and dimensions of the flag are not described by Azizi in his work. |
