No more Turkey: Country officially renamed as ‘Türkiye’
The country formerly known as Turkey has officially been renamed to Türkiye.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu sent a letter to the United Nations on Wednesday formally requesting that his country be referred to as “Türkiye,” the state-run news agency reported. The move is seen as part of a push by Ankara, the nation’s capital, to rebrand the country and dissociate its name from the bird, turkey, and some negative connotations that are associated with it.
