The flag of the republic of Turkey is a red flag, by the flag pole side of the flag on the ground painted with a curved white crescent and a slightly tipped white five-pointed star. The design was adopted in 1936. Turkey is an islamic country, and the crescent and star are symbols of the country's faith, as well as auspiciousness and happiness. This is not only different from the general red flag of the army, but also indicates that Constantinople is located on the land of blood. It is also said that during the European Crusades, this ancient Islam had adopted the stars and crescent as the national symbols. The star is the morning star, the auspicious star mentioned in the quran.
