The republic initially kept the green flag with the crescent and
three stars of the kingdom but later
replaced it with a red-white-black horizontal tricolour like today,
but with a different style of eagle emblem in the white stripe,
bearing a shield of the crescent and stars.
Roy Stilling, 5 October 1996
On 18 June 1953 the red, white, and black striped flag
with the eagle bearing the crescent and three stars on the shield was adopted.
