The Coat of arms of Kurdistan Region is an eagle holding a sun on his wings and used by Kurdistan Region.[1] The sun is formed of the three colors of red, yellow and green, which represent the Flag of Kurdistan.
Symbolism
The number four is prominent in the design: 4 wing feathers, 4 tail feathers, 4 red compass points and 4 green compass points. This is since greater Kurdistan is divided amongst four states (Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria) and because Iraqi Kurdistan is formed from the four northern Iraqi governorates, Erbil, Duhok and Sulaymaniyah.
