A photograph published in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, taken at a dinner given for the three German former hostages of the PKK by the Governor of the Turkish Province of Ağri, shows a red and white flag with a seal in the middle with the word "Polis". There are further lettering "AǦR..." on the top of the flag, which may be the police flag of Ağri.
