“… in Türkiye”
Also known as Turkey—wonder why they don’t like that.
They are at it again, digging up your old ivory from past lives.
Erdogan wants to rename it to its Islamic pronunciation.
Probably has to do with the way it’s actually pronounced there. The Chinese changed Peking to Beijing, Ceylon changed to Sri Lanka, and Burma is now known as Myanmar.
Egypt’s Semitic name is Misr and ancient versions of that include Musri and in the OT Mizraim, while the ancient native name was Kemet.
Maybe Erdogan discovered what we love to eat for Thanksgiving.
