Erdogan changed the name of Turkey, now the country will be known by this new name

 

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has renamed his country Turkey. Now Turkey will be known as Turkiye. Earlier this month, President Erdogan issued a statement saying that he had changed the country's internationally recognized name from Turkey to Turkiye. He also pointed out that the word Turkiye best reflects and expresses the culture, civilization and values ​​of the Turkish nation. Now Turkey will be used instead of Turkey for all types of trade, international institutions and diplomatic functions.

 

In Turkish language, Turkey is called Turkiye. After its independence from Western occupation in 1923, Turkey came to be known as Turkiye. For centuries, Europeans addressed this country first by the name of Ottoman State and then Turkiye, but the name that remained the most discussed was Turkia in Latin. Later it changed to Turkish and this was made the official name. If someone types Turkish in Google, he will get a messy set of definitions of images, articles and dictionary. It will also feature a giant bird called the turkey, which is used to make many staple dishes during Christmas or Thanksgiving in North America. People say that the world sees them and their unique identity because of the name. This is why many countries, states and cities have changed their names in recent years.

Let us tell you that recently, the Netherlands removed the name "Holland" to ease its image in the world. Prior to that, "Macedonia" had changed the name to North Macedonia due to a political dispute with Greece. In 1935, Iran changed its name from Persia. The word Persia was used in Western countries. Iran means Persian in Persian. At that time it was felt that the country should be called by a locally used name and not a name known to outsiders.
