Agha Petros’ Crimson War Banner

Agha Petros’ Crimson War Banner

Description:

A striking tribute to one of the most celebrated Assyrian military leaders of the 20th century, this design features the crimson wartime banner associated with the forces of Agha Petros during the First World War.

At its centre stands the distinctive white cross surrounded by Syriac inscriptions, reproduced from a surviving historical banner carried by Assyrian fighters during their struggle for survival in the mountains of Hakkari, Urmia, and northern Mesopotamia.

Agha Petros commanded Assyrian volunteer forces against overwhelming odds, leading campaigns that became part of the modern Assyrian national story. The banner remains a powerful symbol of faith, resistance, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of the Assyrian people.
