    (Bilkent University, 2020) Moradi, Javid; Abdulla, Seymur; Hasanzaadeh, Araz; Jabiyev, Ramil; Mehrabkhani, Seraj
    In this paper, first, the history and development of the Turkish flag during the Late Ottoman era have been explained. We argued that the flag has not changed drastically as it can be seen in primary sources such as propaganda pictures and advertisements from the Ottoman Era. Then, its geometrical development has been described. We have explained how its modern and geometrically perfect shape has been acquired by using mathematical theorems and the constant unit of G. This research also attempts to clarify how the Turkish flag is protected by the Turkish laws and the constitutions. The constitutions and laws regarding the uses and misuses of the Turkish flag are discussed with the help of primary sources. Finally, the Turkish flag was examined as an inspiration and symbol for Turkish art which has been discussed with reference to numerous artworks and illustrations such as the national anthem and Zeki Faik Izer’s paintings.
