Letter / Measure / Length G: Width A: Distance between the centre of the outer crescent and the seam of the white band: 1/2 G B: Diameter of the outer circle of the crescent: 1/2 G C: Distance between the centres of the inner and outer circles of the crescent :1/16 G D: Diameter of the inner circle of the crescent: 2/5 G E: Distance between the inner circle of the crescent and the circle around the star: 1/3 G F: Diameter of the circle around the star : 1/4 G L: Length: 1 ½ G M: Width of the white hem at the hoist: 1/30 L The above specification is what is given by Turkish Flag Law. Note that this implies that the distance between (the left edge of) the inner circle of the crescent and a vertical line connecting the two pointed ends of the crescent is 279/800 G = 0.34875 G; thus, the left point of the star protrudes with about 0.0154 G beyond that line. A common mistake in rendering the flag is to omit the white hem at the hoist (the left side).
