"Their flag is certainly modeled after the Swastika."

The meander motif took its name from the river Meander, a river with many twists, mentioned by Homer in Iliad. The motif is also known as Greek key or Greek fret.

Meander was the most important symbol in Ancient Greece, symbolizing infinity or the eternal flow of things.


there are many variations on the symbol one looks very much like a swastika

The Swastika itself is an ancient mystic symbol. It later got coopted by you know who.
