==Usage==
In modern times it is popularly used as a symbol of the [[East Turkestan independence movement]] and is claimed by the [[East Turkistan Government-in-Exile|East Turkistan Government in Exile]] to be the national flag of an independent [[East Turkestan]].<ref>[http://en.eastturkistan-gov.org/constitution/ Constitution – East Turkistan Government in Exile]. Article 4.</ref> It is actively used by Uyghur activists in protests against [[China]]'s [[Uyghur genocide|genocide of Uyghurs]] and the [[Xinjiang re-education camps|re-education camp system in Xinjiang]].{{cn|date=October 2020}}

The light blue colour (background) is taken from the colour of the sky and is a predominant colour in Turkic culture that represents the sky, essentially the blue represents Turkic peoples. The crescent represents the notion of being victorious (un-defeatable) and is not necessarily an Islamic symbol, in-fact it was the Turks that introduced the crescent into the Islamic world. The star represents the Turkic nation, and is also found on the flag of the White Hun (Hephthalite) Empire and various other Turkic empires and states.<ref name="auto"/>
