The ancient Turks believed that the Earth is kept on the horns of a blue bull and painted it on their battle banners.
The dome which is the spherical symbol of the sky rests upon four poles symbolizing the four parts of the world.
The eagle which is a king-bird soaring above all living beings is near to the Sky and the Sun.
The eagle is a symbol of freedom, a sign of aspiration to great ideals and a flight to great dreams.
The light-blue colour also meant the image of Homeland which was the original home of light-blue Turks ancestors.
