photo) is white with the municipality's emblem in the middle. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality".

The rock has been topped by a fortress since the Hittite times (c. 1350 BC); in 1071, the Seljuk Turks settled the place and renamed it Kara Hisar, for the fortress. Partly ruined, the citadel can be reached by climbing 800 stairs.

Flag of AKÜ, four versions - Images by Tomislav Šipek, 11 February 2020
Afyon Kocatepe University (Afyon Kocatepe Üniversitesi - AKÜ) was
founded in Afyonkarahisar in 1992. AKÜ originates in the establishment
in 1974 of Afyonkarahisar Finance and Accounting High School, a branch
of Eskişehir Economics and Trading Sciences Academy.
The university is composed of 12 Faculties, 4 Schools, 15 Vocational
Colleges and 3 Institutes.
AKÜ is named for Afyon, the short, usual name of the town ("opium" in
Turkish) and the nearby Kocatepe Hill, an emblematic place in the
Greek-Turkish War. In August 1922, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk was stationed
in Afyonkarahisar. On 26 August 1922, he decided to launch the attack
known in the Turkish historiography as the "All-out battle of Supreme
military commands" and known to the historians as the Battle of
Dumlupınar, which ended on 30 August with the collapse of the Greek
army.
[AKÜ website]
The flag of AKÜ is white (photo;
photo), or blue (photo) with the university's emblem in the center.
The emblem of AKÜ (construction sheet) is based on a famous photo of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk
walking up the rocky top of the Kocatepe Hill, deep in thought -
according to the Turkish historiography, foreseeing the attack of the
Greek lines. The scene is also reproduced on the Atatürk Monument (photo) erected on the
Kocatepe Hill in 1992 by Tankut Öktem.
The white flag uses the official emblem while the blue flag uses the emblem
with a white border and black lettering.
