Description of the flag

A black-field variant of the usual red-field national flag of Turkey, as seen Jan. 1, 2024 in Istanbul; credit: (AP Photo/Emrah Gurel). The article using the photo of this flag did not report on the meaning of this flag. As it was paraded during a protest against the Israeli military incursion into Gaza in late 2023, maybe this black flag is just a generic national mourning and/or protest flag. Some Islamic-jihadist groups use black-field flags.
