The correct name is STROUFOS , Strouthos is the masculine of a wild growing plant edible and rather tasty !!

I wasn't on the forum over two years ago, but if you search, you may find I too mentioned the origins of the star and crescent :wink: .... even the swastika goes back to the Greek key .... hence why the context matters!

The Armenians enrich the Island as much as any other Cypriots of whatever minority status or worldly origins, except Turkish!

About the Turkish flag ... they stole the moon and star symbols from Constantinople...

Many traditions explain the star and crescent symbol. It is known that Diana was the patron goddess of Byzantium and that her symbol was a moon. In 330, the Emperor Constantine rededicated the city - which he called Constantinople - to the Virgin Mary, whose star symbol was superimposed over the crescent. In 1453 Constantinople was captured by the Ottoman Turks and renamed Istanbul, but its new rulers may have adopted the existing emblem for their own use.Source: fotw
