Cabinet changes symbols of Customs Service due to similarity with NATO flag

The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan approved the new symbols of the State Customs Service. Press service of the Cabinet reported.

The decision was made due to the similarity of the current one with the flag of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

Regulation on the flag and symbols of the State Customs Service was approved in February 2006. There is also a description of the symbols that are used in the emblem of the State Customs Service. The emblem is a circle, in the center of which there is a drawing of the wind rose — a symbol of international customs. This pattern is similar to the NATO flag.
