The flag of East Turkestan, also known as Kök Bayraq (كۆك بايراق Көк Байрақ, Blue Banner), was adopted by the East Turkestan government on November 12, 1933.[1] It is a symbol of the East Turkestan independence movement.[2]
The flag resembles the Turkish flag, including a crescent and star historically representing Tengrism. The color blue represents the Gökturks, a group of ancient nomadic Turkic peoples. Gökturks translates to "Sky Turks".
Pro Erdoğan Turkish demonstrators in the Netherlands against the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt waved the Turkish flag and the Kök Bayraq.[3]
A massive march in support of Erdoğan and against Gülen in Istanbul waved the Turkish flag and the Kök Bayraq.[4]
