    Yeah, the asked the international community not to call them after a water fowl big chicken anymore and use their native name for the country instead. Officially it always was “Republic of Türkiye” and not Turkey anyways.

      The funny thing is the bird is called turkey after the country (despite being american), not the other way around.
