About this deal

The autonomous Cretan State, under Ottoman suzerainty, garrisoned by an international military force, and with its high commissioner provided by Greece, was founded when Prince George of Greece and Denmark arrived to take office as the first high commissioner ( Greek: Ὕπατος Ἁρμοστής, Hýpatos Harmostēs), effectively detaching Crete from the Ottoman Empire, on 21 December 1898 (9 December according to the Julian calendar). Although the International Squadron quickly halted their activities, [2] the presence of Greek forces on Crete provoked a war with the Ottoman Empire. In 1878, the Pact of Halepa established the island as an autonomous state under Ottoman suzerainty, until the Ottomans reneged on that agreement in 1889. Spyros Kayales aka Kayaledakis, during the fight for Crete in 1897, took up the Greek flag after the flagpole had been shot away.

They then decided that Crete would become an autonomous state under the suzerainty of the Ottoman Empire. Repositionable self-adhesive vinyl delivered in strip of 35 to 45 inches of width and slightly overlap for easy installation. The flag of the Cretan Autonomous State, blue with a white cross and a red canton charged with a white star, is commonly used in Crete, though unofficially. Agricultural associations in the membership include the rural corporate partnership –Heraklion union, the union of Peza agricultural cooperatives and the agricultural cooperatives of Profitis Ilias, Ano Asites, Kato Asites and Archanes.The cross of Saint George, a mainstay of Greek vexillology and evocative of the Orthodox faith, remains the main feature.

In 1897 an insurrection in Crete led the Ottoman Empire to declare war on Greece leding the United Kingdom, Italy, France and Russia to intervene in the territories that the Ottoman Empire wasn't able to rule. It was the prelude to the island's final annexation to the Kingdom of Greece, which occurred de facto in 1908 and de jure in 1913 after the First Balkan War. Thereafter, the Admirals Council focused on a negotiated settlement that would bring the insurrection to an end without bringing Ottoman governance of Crete to an end, but this proved impossible. On 27 April 1899, an Executive Committee was created, in which a young, Athens-trained lawyer from Chania, Eleftherios Venizelos, participated as minister of justice.tolerated by national authorities, being associated more or less with independantist or autonomist claims or other revendications; the flag is sometimes also used wrongly (for instance by an airway company). Maybe blue instead of black like the Greek flag and many frescoes or some red/earth tones(also like the frescoes)? In the corners of the cross are the blue letters "Ι Χ Ν Κ", for "Jesus Christ Victorious", as above.
