Flag of Northern Cyprus

The 'TRNC' is recognized as an independent state only by Turkey.

The flag used by the President of the TRNC is identical to the state flag, but with the addition of a red-and-yellow star in the upper left corner. The top red stripe is terminated just before the star. The flag also has a yellow fringe.
