[edit] Is the flag of "Republic of Turkey" the flag of "Ottoman Empire"
Some claim: Practically equal to the present-day flag of Turkey.
The present day flag was standardized (geometric proportions and its specific color) in 1936. Standardization of the flag made these two flags significantly differ in the size placement of the symbols and color. It is not enough to match the "moon" and "star" and claim these flags are same. There was no need for that a law without creating that difference. It was the intention of the law makers to make the flags differ but keep the sentimental meaning same. "Moon" and "star" is a common theme in many Turkish states that share the same sentiment and also some other states. Every flag has its own differences which makes them unique as they represent unique states or organizations. You can not ignore these differences. Ottoman Empire and Republic of Turkey are different states which have different alliances (different "sovereignty"). You can not use current Turkish flag because it has "moon and star with a red background and this is close enough" for the Ottoman Flag. Simply they are different.

[edit] Correct flag with sources
Please remove that flag, it's both inaccurate and ugly. Here's the correct flag, with sources linked at the description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Late_Ottoman_Flag_1844-1922.png Res Gestæ Divi Augusti (talk) 10:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have seen this argument brought by User:Lambiam, User:Res Gestæ Divi Augusti and User:Flavius Belisarius. I checked the images brought by all these users. The "red" in these images are not standard, but all of them have a darker red. All these images have the "Crescent" centered in the flag. The "Five-pointed star" tends to be closer to the crescent. Lets look at the facts: There was a standardization of the Turkish flag in 1936. standardization of Turkish flag in 1936 This means that beginning with 1936, the flag of Republic of Turkey is uniquely different. I also look at the proposed Late_Ottoman_Flag_1844-1922.png. I do not see any difference between standardized Turkish flag and this proposal. Lets assume that we will never know what the Ottoman flag was. We know that Republic of Turkey's flag become different as of 1936.--Kemalist (talk) 03:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
