The inscription in the crescent part reads "Ne mutlu Türk'üm diyene," which translates to "How happy is the one who says 'I am a Turk.'" The text inside the star is a line from the Turkish national anthem, the "İstiklal Marşı," which reads "Korkma sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak," translating to "Fear not, the red flag that proudly waves in these dawns shall not fade."
