The symbol of the Coat of arms of Syria (Arabic: شعار سوريا‎) is the Syrian hawk or "hawk of Qureish",^[1] which holds a shield of the national flag (in vertical form), and a scroll with the words "Syrian Arab Republic" (in Arabic الجمهورية العربية السورية). The "eagle of Saladin" was used instead during the United Arab Republic period.
