Sources and Credits

The flag of Damascus (adopted 1922) was blue with a white circle. (...) I forgot to specify that the French canton also appears in this flag. The white circle is 8:12:8 (height) of the flag and French canton is 1/3. The white circle is centered in the whole flag. For more details see Der Flaggenkurier 7/8 arti
