World's tallest flagpole in Tajikistan
To mark the 20th anniversary of its independence the Central Asian nation of Tajikistan unveiled what it bills as the world's tallest flagpole, AFP reports. The Tajik version also supports a 98-foot by 197-foot flag that wafts over the capital city of Dushanbe and is thought to be largest in the world, the news agency noted.
The 30 by 60 metre national tri-colour that sails at the top of the pole can be seen throughout the capital Dushanbe and is widely believed to be the largest in the world.
