Coat of Arms of Turkey  :Republic of Turkey do not have a national coat of arms which is frequently used but instead of that there is a coat of arms of Republic of Turkey Presidental Palace. It is a red circular design; at the centre of the circle there is golden star resembling the Turkish Republic which is covered with 16 smaller stars each resembling the Turkish states and empires through the history. The emblem you are talking about is Presidental Insignia.here and explained here --Mko 21:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Republic of Turkey does not have any official coat of arms. This image should be deleted. Kaygtr 20:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

There is no reference that proofs current logo. As a Turkish citizen, I have never seen this logo before.

This symbol, simply the crescent and moon, is used national ID cards, Turkish passports and exists in the logos of (almost) all of government institutions. The symbol on passport is very important, almost all countries use their coat of arms' or emblems on passports.

I strongly support the change of current logo with this one. Kaygtr (talk) 23:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
