About the flag
The 12 white stars beside the crescent are said to represent the months of the year, or the signs of the zodiac, a nod to the regionβs long tradition of astronomy.
How to spot it: Blue-white-green stripes separated by thin red lines, with a white crescent and 12 stars in the blue band.
