President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government hopes the rebranding will give a boost to the economy as visitors start to return in large numbers after two pandemic-depressed tourist seasons. Some also wish to dissociate the country's name from the bird that traditionally appears on American dining tables at Thanksgiving and from the slang definition of a turkey as something that doesn't work or is foolish.

a technology i resell is based out of Turkey and I've noticed that they call themselves that for their cloud instances and i've never seen it before.
but i also don't pay a ton of attention to Turkey.

That's turkey soup, not gumbo. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

The carrots are to soak up all that grease.

I hear Chile is changing the spelling of their name to Chili

Because that is how it is spelled in Turkish. Like Spain is España.

When did they start pronouncing it "Keev" instead of "Kiev" ?
