What does your country flag represent? What is it called? What do the colors signify? What should everyone know about your flag?
Republic of TurkeyIt represents several things, thus we have several stories.After the Battle of Kosovo, crescent (Moon) and a star (Jupiter) reflects on a puddle of blood. This theory is widely accepted because June 28, 1389 is a possible date when Jupiter and Moon could reflect not far from each other considering the coordinates of Kosovo. Of course, this is just theory.Another rumour (rumour, not theory) is that the founder of Ottoman principality, Osman Begh saw this flag in his dream.3. Another theory is that it comes from the White banner (Ak Sancak) sent to Osman Begh by Seljukid sultan Ghiyāth ad-Dīn Mas'ūd as a symbol for the independence of Osman Begh. This is the white flag:Earliest versions of our flag was used by Ottomans.This one was used by the Ottoman navy between 1793–1844.This one was used by the Ottoman Empire, officially accepted in 1844. This is the “father” of modern Turkish flag.I also have another flag to present. This doesn’t belong to any country but to and ethnic group. The Nogay flag. (check out: The Nogay People and Nogay Culture)The winged, maned female wolf in the flag is the Kökböri. Simply means bluewolf. The blue wolf is first used by the Göktürks (or simply Turk Khaganate).There are debates on wether the Göktürk flag is real or not, but the Göktürks believed that they came from the winged blue wolf Ashina who descended from the sky to show them the way out of the Altai mountains. We don’t call it Ashina or Asena, but simply the Blue Wolf.Kökböri’s face represents bellicosity and warrior culture, her breasts (or udder) represents fertility, her mane represents strenght and her wings represent freedom and “not being chained” to a certain place. The wolf itself represents the love of freedom.The blue background represents the Blue Sky.We also use the tamgha of Nogay Khaan, who gave us our name.

I'm a Philippine citizen (more like some highschool student) applying for a College (the Ngee Ann Polytechnic) in Singapore, and i need to have a GCE 'O' Level examination (or equivalent) results to be eligible for consideration. How do I go about this? I read the website but there were so many different exams to take on different dates and I got confused. Someone help me break down all the info into something i can understand!
