The flag of Pervari (photo) is white with the municipality's emblem. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality".
The bee recalls the Pervari karakovan honey.
The famous Pervari honey, called "karakovan" by locals, will get its own 
21-hectare forest in Siirt to improve the quality and quantity of the 
product.
The Pervari region in the southeast of the country is known for its rich 
flora. The Forestry Department's "Honey Forest Action Plan" also 
envisions the planting of acacia and juniper trees, which are especially 
liked by honeybees.
Siirt Forestry Department Manager Mehmet Ali Dedeoğlu said the project 
was a first in the province, adding that with a special area designated 
for honey, production will increase interest in the local honey making 
sector. "The cost of the plan is TL 170,000," he said.
Siirt Honey Makers Union Executive Board member Emin Enüştekin also 
underlined the importance of the project, arguing that honey bees which 
failed to find enough sustenance during summer months migrated to higher 
elevations, forcing producers to follow them to the plateaus.
"We saw heavy rain during the spring. However, this does not mean a 
boost in production. There were plenty of flowers but their nectars were 
low. That's why we had to move to the plateaus where flowers are much 
richer in nectar levels. The action plan will significantly help the 
sector. It will both increase the quality and quantity of the honey 
produced, and stop us from being forced to follow the bees to the 
plateaus," he said.
In a laboratory study commissioned by the Pervari Local Administration 
in 2013, it was found out that the water content of the local honey was 
14 percent, acid content 13 percent. According to the analysis, Pervari 
honey is at least equal in quality to the world famous Anzer honey 
produced in the Black Sea coastal Rize Province.
