What is the english name and spelling of the new name Turkey goes by? Turkiye?
And yes, I would have the same opinion if the UK somehow forced Turks to drop "Birleşik Krallık" in favour of its English name.
Just like there were other countries that have changed their names over time for this or that reason, I figured same thing could have happened to Turkey while I was not paying attention. Or hasn’t. Hence the question.
I admit to still calling it Turkey.
Turkey insisting on using a name like is analogous to calling Germany Deutschland or China 中國.
However, that doesn’t mean it’s not an interesting case of an authoritarian trolling the west.
