I've seen on ARTE TV (French-German TV), Kurdish demonstrations in Germany and in Strasbourg, both with lots of 
people waving an unknown Kurdish flag that I couldn't find in Flags of the World.  The flag is green with 
a yellow sun in the center and a red sign that I didn't recognize.  Does anyone know what it is?

I believe that this flag bears in the center the red letters PDK  (at less this is what I see on 
reports from Catalan TV) and must be the flag of Partiya Demokrat a Kurdistan Bakur (North Kurdistan Democratic Party),
the Turkish wing of the KDP.  See the 
PDK Bakur website.

I have a photo of another flag, unidentified (but Kurdish, probably from Turkey).  Behind 
the yellow sun (with fewer rays and a bit small) is a light blue disk, and all is in the center 
of the flag instead of in the canton.
