UN approves Turkey’s request to change name to Turkiye.

June 6, 2022

Turkiye Capital: Ankara;
President of Turkiye: Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Turkiye Currency: Turkish lira.
The United Nations has changed the Republic of Turkey’s country name at the organisation from “Turkey” to “Türkiye”, following a request from Ankara for the change.
Turkey began the move to change its internationally recognised official name in English to Türkiye in December after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan released a memorandum and asked the public to use Türkiye to describe the country in every language.
Türkiye is the best representation and expression of the Turkish people’s culture, civilization and values.
