> The country name "Türkiye" is replacing "Turkey" at the UN, following a request by Ankara to be referred to as such, the international body announced on Wednesday.
> The new brand "Türkiye" is now in place in foreign languages.
Now that's how you respond to a name change request!
Edit: It's good that the new name contains "i". That's like Microsoft (allegedly) using names with spaces for special directories such as "Program Files" so as to force programmers to handle spaces in paths. :)
