It's a thing of pronunciation... even if the spelling is changed, Native English speakers will hardly pull that off.

Your name should be changed to vulture. That land used to be called Constantinople then the jihadists moved in and destroyed the original owners of the land and changed the name to Turkey just like the fulanis under the watch of Buhari want to achieve in Nigeria. Of course the will fail big time. THE BIGGER THEY COME THE HARDER THEY FALL.

As someone that loves history, there are some countries that have been existing even before the coming of Jesus Christ and one of those countries was Greece.

Now, Greek neighbors are Turkey but Turkey isn’t their original names as it wasn’t mention in the Bible or any books of antiquity.

So I asked what was there original name? And if they don’t know what was Greece calling them in the year before Christ (BC)

Something tells me Turkey or Türkiye as they call themselves are the people of ancient Troy.

Turkey is Puten (bird) in German

The issue seems to only affect English.. They must not like how in English the name is also known for the bird grin

We know its a Christian nation that was forcefully converted. According to history.

If one religion cease the whole world, convert everybody to theirs, then wat else? Will there be peace afterward?

Religion is the greatest killer of humanity

The area was a Christian area before Turks founded the nation there.
Turkey itself was never a Christian "Nation"
