UN agrees to change Turkey’s official name to ‘Türkiye’​

Turkey began the move to change its internationally recognised official name in English to Türkiye in December.

The United Nations has changed the Republic of Turkey’s country name at the organisation from “Turkey” to “Türkiye”, following a request from Ankara for the change.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said that a letter had been received on Wednesday from the Turkish foreign minister Mevlut Cavusoglu 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.

Cavusoglu announced the letter’s official submission to the UN and other international organisations on Tuesday.

“Together with our Directorate of Communications, we have been successful in preparing a good ground for this,” said the letter.

“We have made it possible for the UN and other international organisations, countries to see this change to using ‘Türkiye’,” Cavusoglu told Anadolu Agency.


Turkey began the move to change its internationally recognised official name in English to Türkiye in December after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan released a memorandum and asked the public to use Türkiye to describe the country in every language.

“Türkiye is accepted as an umbrella brand for our country in national and international venues,” Erdogan said at the time. “Türkiye is the best representation and expression of the Turkish people’s culture, civilization and values.”

Erdogan also advised companies to use “made in Türkiye” for their exported goods, and instructed state agencies to use Türkiye in their correspondence.

Wouldn't "big ugly bird" suffice?

 

[Male Idiot]

I got better idea. I'll call them Törökország. It is one letter removed from Görögország , or Greekland. Fitting as they are indistinguishable visually.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

I mean it's still pronounced Turkey but with a ye at the end so whatever. Good luck getting burgers to care.

[Open Window Maniac]

Turkgyie has a nice ring to it TBH

This is excellent news. We now have yet another way to trigger nationalist Turks on the internet. Just deadname their country until they 41%.

Riling the online Turkish ultra-nationalist, both the most common and final boss of the we wuz kangz types worldwide, living usually living in Germany or somewhere not Turkeeeeeeeey goggle goggle goggle, is probably too easy, but it's a form of relaxation for fair few. That said using an alt on insta or wherever (as they false flag like girls or groypers), might be an idea.

These should be told of their new name:

[Cilleystring]

I thought they were going to change it to Turkiev to show solidarity with Ukraine.

“Türkiye is accepted as an umbrella brand for our country in national and international venues,” Erdogan said at the time. “Türkiye is the best representation and expression of the Turkish people’s culture, civilization and values.”

Shouldn't they also change their nationality to Türkish for consistency? Also, ditch the umlaut and change it to Turkie if sharing a name with a bird bugs them that much.

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole]

reee our country can't be called an exonym that is very, very close to the endonym reeeee it's killing us and this isn't at all like forcing preferred pronouns down the throats of everyone in the world!

Tuerkiye = not white, massive fags that like little boys, confirmed first ever tranny nation. Turanniye I should say.

 

[ICametoLurk]

Aren't Turkic tribes originally from China?

So shouldn't it be some Chink name?

 

[Male Idiot]

Well turks ad slavs call us madar or macar. Which is close to Magyar.

 

[Cuckoman]

Why is this news and who cares what that shithole calls itself?
GoldStar rebranded themself as LG but all they produce is still the same second-rate electronics shit as before.
Just the same way as Turkey rebranding itself.

Your average "Turk" is something like 80% Greek thanks to how few Turks there actually were in Anatolia when they took over.
