Symbolism
The number four is prominent in the design: 4 wing feathers, 4 tail feathers, 4 red compass points and 4 green compass points. This is since greater Kurdistan is divided amongst four states (Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria) and because Iraqi Kurdistan is formed from the four northern Iraqi governorates, Erbil, Duhok and Sulaymaniyah.
