Meaning & history of the Turkey flag
Turkey's flag, the 'al bayrak' (red flag), is red with a white crescent and five-pointed star toward the hoist. Red has been the colour of the Turks for centuries, and the crescent and star are ancient symbols long associated with the Ottoman Empire and Islam. Popular legend links the emblem to a crescent moon and star reflected in a pool of blood after battle.
