The Assyrian flag (Syriac: ܐܬܐ ܐܬܘܪܝܬܐʾāṯā ʾāṯōrāytā or ܐܬܐ ܕܐܬܘܪʾāṯā d-ʾāṯōr)[1][2] is the flag widely used to represent the Assyrian nation in the homeland and in the diaspora.
Its two components, the star of Utu/Shamash, which was a symbol for the god Shamash, and is combined with the ancient symbol of the god Ashur.
George Bit Atanus first designed the flag in 1968;[3] the Assyrian Universal Alliance, Assyrian National Federation and Bet-Nahrain Democratic Party all adopted the flag in 1971. The flag has a white background with a golden circle at the center, surrounded by a four-pointed star in blue. Four triple-colored (red-white-blue), widening, wavy stripes connect the center to the four corners of the flag. The figure of pre-Christian Assyrian God Ashur, known from Iron Age iconography, features above the centre.
