The municipality of Doğubayazıt (118,950 inhabitants in 2013, 74,316 in the town of Doğubayazıt; 24,158 ha), located on the border with Iran, 90 km of Ağrı, is the easternmost municipality in Turkey.

The flag of Doğubayazıt (photo, photo, photo, photo) is white with the municipality's emblem in the center. "Belediyesi" means "Municipality". On the flag, the blue background of the emblem is much lighter than on the stand-alone emblem.
The emblem features the town's skyline with Mt. Ararat, surmounted by
Noah's ark in the background. The lake on the right of the emblem must
be Lake Balık (34 sq. km), a lava-dammed freshwater lake.
The main building is İshak Paşa's Palace, whose building lasted from
1684 to 1785.
The truck, the road and the border pennant recall that Doğubayazıt is
located on a main road to Iran. The Gürbülak border post is the end of
European route E80 (6,102 km), which starts from Lisbon (Portugal) and crosses Spain (Burgos), France (Toulouse), Italy (Genoa, Rome), the Adriatic Sea, Croatia (Dubrovnik), Montenegro (Podgorica), Serbia,
Kosovo (Priština), Bulgaria (Sofia), and Turkey (Istanbul).
Doğubayazıt adopted a new emblem in 2014, which does not appear to have
been placed on municipal flags yet. The new emblem was selected among
six finalists (here, proposal No. 3). The emblem keeps stylized
representations of Mt. Ararat and Noah's ark and of the palace but drops
any straightforward reference to the road and the lake.

The municipal football club, Doğubayazıt Belediye Spor, plays in the
Ağrı amateur first league.
The club's flag (photo) is green with two red stripes on top and bottom, separated from the green stripe by a white fimbriation, and the
municipal emblem (similar to the self standing emblem) in the center,
surrounded by a white ring. The club's name is written in green capital
letters in the red stripes.
