I mean I really don’t have any problems with saying it like this, just don’t understand the need. We don’t call Germany Deutschland or Japan Nihon, so why are people saying Türkiye?
In: 0
This is why:
> Following an official letter submitted to the United Nations by the Republic of Türkiye, the country’s name has been officially changed to Türkiye at the UN.
> UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that a letter had been received on June 1 from the Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Cavuşoğlu addressed to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, requesting the use of “Türkiye” instead of “Turkey” for all affairs.
> The spokesman said the country name change became effective from the moment the letter was received.
