It is called a "triangle fold", and it is performed when a soldier has fallen at the enemy hands or for whatever reason assumed no longer alive. They fold an American flag, and send the coffin off in glory to the resting grounds. Below is a link with visual help showing how this is done:

I was thinking more about the term "muska böreği"
Here "muska" describes the "börek" so I would expect it to be muska börek instead of the noun modification muska böreği

Quoting bod: I was thinking more about the term "muska böreği"
Here "muska" describes the "börek" so I would expect it to be muska börek instead of the noun modification muska böreği |
but even if it is describing the börek,the fact that it is noun,make goes under the umbrella of the noun modification rule
To transfer it from a noun to the meaning of an adjective
İ think ..

muska is noun here too
if it were an adjective, word group would be "muska börek"
for example; red: kırmızı
red book: kırmızı kitap
but policeman: polis memuru
we put a suffix for it.
so muska+ börek+ -i suffix:
muska böreği
muska is noun here.
