Flag of Bingöl

The new flag of Bingöl can be seen at https://tr.sputniknews.com/20210801/bingol-belediye-baskani-erdal-arikan-koronaviruse-yakalandi-1045118112.html

It depicts a logo on a white field with an eagle flying before a mountain.

Bingöl was originally known as Cebel-cur, "the flowing mountain", subsequently as Çapakçur, "flowing freshwater". According to Evliya Çelebiye, Alexander the Great drank this water, which healed his body, and, subsequently ordered to build a castle there. The place was later renamed to Mingöl ("Lake region", "Thousand lakes") and eventually to Bingöl.

The new logo of Bingöl, unveiled in June 2020, features an eagle, mountains and the sun.
The former logo, featuring a shepherd on a rainbow background, used for more than 40 years, was deemed no longer representative of the town's culture.
The eagle refers to Bingöl's popular culture and brave people; the Bingöl's mountains are evoked in folkloric songs.
