On the subject of symbols, here is how Turkey got the symbol on their flag.
A coin from an ancient Greek Byzantine city where Constantinople stands today.

The explanation we were given in school is nearer the mark. Ataturk saw the crescent and a star in the pool of blood during the battle against the Greek soldiers.

That coin was long before Ataturk. It was the time of Philippos, Alexander the Greats father. But what did you expect them to teach you at school?

Is it that difficult to believe? That he could see such an image after a battle on a night when the moon is born. I would have thought, they used it despite that fact that the east roman empire used it, is more reasonable to contemplate.

So typical of Turks.

Raise some doubt as to the origins of their revered flag and all hell breaks loose.

You are medieval.

Evolution has forsaken you, idiot.

There is no proof as to how it came about. The real question is would they have taken their enemy's symbol and is what I have been taught at school that unbelievable?
Judging by your typical greek illogic, I get this feeling I know what you are thinking. I am convinced that your stupidity is on account that you walk upside down and too much blood gets into too your little brain. You suffer from Blood brain imbalance, I would sik some medical help if I was you.

I sik 6 monthly medical examinations, but you need to sik some English lessons. Fast!

The city of Byzantium (later known as Constantinople and Istanbul) adopted the crescent moon as its symbol...

When the Turks conquered Constantinople (Istanbul) in 1453, they adopted the city's existing flag and symbol.

Am I right in thinking this was posted in irony? As a glaring example of the garbage you were fed in school.

In the UK there is the Union flag representing the nation and at the same time there are the "regional" flags of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, not to mention the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Everyone is very proud of their own flags and they are often/usually displayed equally with the national flag. I would suggest that even if Cyprus were to be "reunited" individual citizens would want to keep their own identities and the symbols that they feel represent them.
