Where did the Acehnese flag that stirred the Indonesian government come from and whether it was important for Aceh? Prior to this, when the Aceh flag issue strengthened and the Minister of Home Affairs rejected it, some parties took issue seriously. Prior to the signing of the Helsinki MoU between GAM and the Republic of Indonesia on August 15, 2005, the flag was raised on behalf of the Aceh Sumatra State (NAS). According to Hasan di Tiro (HT), that is the Aceh flag he termed the NAS.
Before the Helsinki MoU, it was heard that some of the guys said that the black and white lines in Aceh's current flag were added by HT. The addition is mentioned as the creativity ability or creativity rights of a "Wali Neugara". The flag, in fact belongs to Turkey's Ottoman Empire State, the last era (early XX century) that was later adopted by the Turkish Parliamentary Republic.
When trying to declare NAS, HT picked up the flag and added a black and white line with some partially mentioned excuses and some hidden, for example because Aceh in the past was united with Ottoman Turks, HT took a Turkish flag for the NAS because the flag was one condition of a country.
