Flag of Turkey

"The flag of Turkey is a red flag featuring a crescent with a star. The flag is often called Al bayrak (the red flag) and referred to as Al sancak (the red banner) in the Turkish national anthem. The current design of the Turkish flag is directly derived from the late Ottoman flag, which had acquired its final form in 1844. Its measures have passed by a law during the Republic period on May 29, 1936 which formed the shapes and measures of the current flag of the Republic of Turkey. ... Use: National flag and ensign. Proportion 2:3. Adopted: 1844. Design: A red field with a white crescent and star slightly left of centre." [Flag of Turkey. Wikipedia]
