Reply to comment by [deleted] in Türkiye, Sweden, Finland to discuss NATO bids in Bucharest by Zhukov-74

The name of the country in Turkish has changed. Do you see people in the Anglo sphere calling Germany Deutschland ? No, because Germany is the English work for Deutschland. Turkey is the English word you daft idiot. I’m really not sure why redditors have such a hard on for the Turkey name change.

Pretty sure Türkiye has always been the Turkish name. It is now also the English official name. I'm not sure why redditors have such a hard time using Google.

Ah don't worry, as a citizen of the Netherlands we know what you going through. Perhaps if el presedente will changes his mind over Finland and Sweden we could perhaps tember it correctly

It is the official English name…according to Turkey - which has no bearing whatsoever on how English speakers use the language.
