The United Nations confirmed earlier this month that it had accepted a request from Turkey to change the country's official name.Now, its name is "Türkiye."Stéphane Dujarric is a spokesman for the U.N. secretary general.He said that the change was in effect "from the moment" they received the request letter.The information came from the Turkish news organization Anadolu Agency."Türkiye" is how the country's name is pronounced in Turkish.The move is seen as part of a push by Turkey to separate itself from the turkey bird and some undesirable meanings related with it.In December, president Recep Tayyip Erdogan ordered the use of "Türkiye" to better represent Turkish culture and values.The order included a demand that "Made in Türkiye" be used instead of "Made in Turkey" on exported products.Turkish government agencies began using "Türkiye" in official documents.Earlier this year, the government released a video as part of its efforts to change its name in English.
本月早些时候，联合国证实，其已经接受了土耳其更改该国官方名称的请求。现在，它的名字是“Türkiye”。斯特凡纳・杜加里克是联合国秘书长发言人。他说，从他们收到请求信的那一刻起，新名字就生效了。该消息来自土耳其新闻机构阿纳多卢通讯社。在土耳其语中，该国的名字就是“Türkiye”。人们认为这一举动是土耳其将其与火鸡和与之相关的一些不受欢迎的含义区分开来而付出的一部分努力。去年12月，土耳其总统雷杰普・塔伊普・埃尔多安下令使用“Türkiye”，以更好地代表土耳其的文化和价值观。该命令要求在出口产品上使用“Made in Türkiye”，而不是“Made in Turkey”。土耳其政府机构开始在官方文件中使用“Türkiye”。今年早些时候，土耳其政府发布了一段视频，这是其更改英文名字而付出的一部分努力。
