Sorry, but this isn't true. The emblem on the Turkish flag is typical Muslim symbols, used by a multitude of Muslim countries and organizations since the time of the prophet. (Which of course doesn't mean those symbols haven't occurred in other cultures - they are quite international.) And the modern state of Turkey is a quite recent construction, that was born out of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, after WWI.
However, if Hekate originally was a Greek goddess or adopted from some of the cultures of Asia Minor can of course be discussed. Personally, I would actually guess on the latter theory. But She have very little to do with the Turks.

Enchantress wrote:No not personal and if you are expert here you will know that the Hecate sanctuary in Lagina is much older than the Hellenistic town of Stratonicea which lies in its vicinity. I think it is that the Greek rebuilt the Temple.
The Seleucid Empire was a major center of Hellenistic culture that maintained the preeminence of Greek customs where a Greek political elite dominated, mostly in the urban areas.
This can help to solve problem.
