Are you taking Biden’s promises seriously? Politicians only try to fulfill their promises when they have a re-election coming up. Biden is too old for re-election so he’s basically free to do whatever he likes.
As a Turkish i need to write a comment like: changing the English name of our country, doesn't fix your, unorthodox economy policy which caused the inflation...
When I was young learning geography, it was much simpler back then. I thought that turkeys came from Turkey, germs came from Germany, chili came from Chile, grease came from Greece, and hungry people came from Hungary.
Actually back in the day the English did buy turkeys from Turkey, that's why the animal is called turkey. In Turkey the animal is called hindi because that's where they got it from. 😉

What is wrong with the turkey? It is a beautiful and noble bird. Benjamin Franklin proposed making the turkey the national bird of the newly created United States but at the end the muscular eagle was chosen.
I have seen many time turkeys beat eagles in nature, those birds are strong if wanted and can fly from spot up high in the sky if needed, they are just lazy.
To be completely honest...I dont think the name change will give it any more respect internationally....theres nothing bad about the name Turkey. If they want to change it in English communications, let them....but people arent going to write the ü in Türkiye
Don't forget Philippines' Duterte wanting to rename the country "Maharlika." To move away from colonialism by changing the denomination to an authentic local ome... in the foreign language Sanskrit !?
@@qrsx66 Well, I would argue that that's different, though. A country ridding itself of the negative connotations of colonaial names (which in India includes Mughal names such as "Allahabad") seems more reasonable and understandable to me. But Turkey is itself a former colonial power, and its name in various languages is definitely not tainted by anything except its own brutal genocidal legacy. Mind you, the Turks themselves call Morocco "Fas", which just means Fez (the city). 😆
@kızgın tosbağa Iraq has democracy today without Saddam Husain, Ukraine's Democracy was destroyed by Russia, Syria has an authoritarian government since 1971 controlled by the Assad family. Your comment is a masterpiece.

Turkey needs to increase interest rate so it can be able to decrease inflation that induced so many prolems among the people . İnflation makes people's financial situation worse .Also Turkey has to change its policy and regulations in economy. There is a group of people who struggle not to change that. I hope Turkey will be better.
In difficult times and economic crises (inflation and state bankruptcies), war was always used as a distraction. Therefore Erdogan is also aggressive against Greece (islands).
Go check your map, you say that the islands we reached by swimming from the Turkish coast are ours and you are arming them. You are the one who trusts America and acts provocatively, but you will get kicked from America. The Greek people are also following in the footsteps of Miçotakis, you are constantly complaining, you have no confidence in yourself, you don't care. What's ours is ours, we'll never let you steal it. Enough is enough, thanks to your hypocritical west, you've stolen enough land. According to the UN and treaties, the islands around our mainland belong to us. Forget about the islands that are ours, but how will you get rid of being a state of America? Tell America your nonsense about independence and sovereignty because you are under occupation. You chose to become a state of the United States instead of sharing resources with us.

Various countries have their own local/traditional names for other countries. So far, no one has minded - until juvenile tantrum-thrower Dictator Erdogan (a.k.a. Gollrur) needed a distraction from the disaster his policies are visiting on the country he rules with an iron fist: The most important issue of all issues is the fact that the modern name for Türkiye in English is Turkey - which happens to be the English name for the large chicken species Meleagris that e.g. Nordic nations call "Kalkun". To my knowledge, the people of Turkey/Türkiye/Tyrkland or whatever people call this particular nation do not really care - the only Turk that seems the have his knickers in a twist is Dictator Erdogan - but,then again, he is in dire need of something, ANYTHING that will distract his countrymen from the fact that his economic and religious policies are ruining Turkey/Türkiye/Tyrkland. Erdogan is becoming openly ridiculous! In my country (Iceland), Turkey/Türkiye has always been called "Tyrkland", and the old Norse name for Istanbul has always been "Mikligarður" (lit. Great Garden). Is juvenile Erdogan about to throw a tantrum over local naming conventions for his ancient country, one of the cradles of civilization? Methinks you Turks (NOT Turkeys!) need to start thinking about electing a more rational leader... The funny thing: Turkey (Türkiye) as a nation has been doing fine - it is mostly on the ridiculous Erdogan political and economic front that the country has been floundering.

@@bear4772 Even though it's a delicious bird, turkeys are derided for being a bird that doesn't fly, but even worse, turkeys are probably the stupidest birds known to farmers.

Over 1 BILLION people aren't going to start saying it that way just because his ego wants it that way. He himself should then obligate his own tongue to pronounce other country names in their respective native names as well. The problem with his approach is that not all languages have the same sounds, the u with the umlaut for instance (IPA: /y/), doesn't exist in English in any accent or dialect...plenty of languages don't have that, nor could their keyboards type that letter either. His idea is likely going to be laughed at and scoffed off as loony, then he'll ''feel insulted'' and ''whine even more as he usually does''.
Erdogan is getting more and more snowflake-y. 😅Everyone knows it's just a distraction from the real issues, not to mention a pathetic and desperate attempt to gain political score from his people.
Did you receive the message about other countries name changes? Good. Did you follow those changes? You did. Then be quiete. It will be implanted wheter you like it or not is irrelevant.
Nope, other countries have no right to tell the English world how to pronounce stuff in English. They decide how to pronounce stuff in their own language.When you are speaking in English, you use English pronunciation. Many languages have sounds which don't even exist in English and native English speakers can't pronounce.

@@giorgismaximos8662 LOL it's so obvious that you don't know anything about history. I can give many examples that a state is a continuation of the previous state. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed, the states that declared their independence paid ottomans debts. This includes Bulgaria and Greece. In a way, Greece is considered the continuation of the Ottoman state. In addition, when the republic was established, the Ottoman sultanate and caliphate were abolished, which shows that the state was not a continuation.
- "It’s good to know that Turks can speak their mind freely on camera." Yes, but how long can they do that? It seems to be typical for aspiring authoritarians to tighten their grip little by little. The Turkish media is already tightly controlled, and demonstrations against the government are in practice criminalized. It won't probably take long before private citizens will be punished for speaking their mind. Surprisingly the election system in Turkey still seems to work somewhat reliably (unless I'm mistaken).
Please don't come and buy a condo in Turkiye. Reasons are in the folder named 'come meet: Turkiye' But you and people like you, really please do not come to my country, we really don't want biggoted people pollute our streets.
Ah yes, rebranding. This will fix inflation for sure, not raising rates
If the current rebranding doesn't work, Erdogan will re - rebrand Turkey in the hope that inflation will nosedive.

What is wrong with the turkey? It is a beautiful and noble bird. Benjamin Franklin proposed making the turkey the national bird of the newly created United States but at the end the muscular eagle was chosen.
I have seen many time turkeys beat eagles in nature, those birds are strong if wanted and can fly from spot up high in the sky if needed, they are just lazy.
Wild turkeys are impressive birds for sure.
The bird is named after the country.

It started with Côte d'Ivoire. Then Timor-Leste and Cabo Verde followed suit. To me, it's mainly a sign of national low self-esteem.
To be completely honest...I dont think the name change will give it any more respect internationally....theres nothing bad about the name Turkey. If they want to change it in English communications, let them....but people arent going to write the ü in Türkiye
Don't forget Philippines' Duterte wanting to rename the country "Maharlika."
To move away from colonialism by changing the denomination to an authentic local ome... in the foreign language Sanskrit !?
@@qrsx66 Well, I would argue that that's different, though. A country ridding itself of the negative connotations of colonaial names (which in India includes Mughal names such as "Allahabad") seems more reasonable and understandable to me. But Turkey is itself a former colonial power, and its name in various languages is definitely not tainted by anything except its own brutal genocidal legacy. Mind you, the Turks themselves call Morocco "Fas", which just means Fez (the city). 😆

This is how you set your priorities straight: let’s address an useless issue that only occurs in English language but not in others.
Having Lira in free fall and inflation close to 100% is less worthy of attention, apparently.

Don't worry, next they might change the name of the Lira to Lüriye. That will fix everything 😉
@@Andreas_42 To be fair, I think the idea is they don't want to be associated with the bird. In fact, the English call the Turkey bird Turkey because they thought it comes from Turkey. In Spanish, the name of the country is spelled Turquía and pronounced like their "new" English? name Türkiye.
@@davidgutierrez3312 yeah, but why should the turkish state be able to determine how another language should spell and speak their name?

@@jobwesleycoxjr5103 No, definitely not. Obviously. They just kept hating on everyone using “Kiev” and started insulting them and telling them things until they accepted the change to “Kyiv,” even though only 1/4 of the people say “Kyiv” and that's only those who are in the spotlight, that's why you see “Kyiv” more often now.
Also, the United States is not pronounced 'America', it's pronounced 'Bada$$muthafuka'. We expect everyone to say it like this from now on.

In difficult times and economic crises (inflation and state bankruptcies), war was always used as a distraction. Therefore Erdogan is also aggressive against Greece (islands).
Go check your map, you say that the islands we reached by swimming from the Turkish coast are ours and you are arming them. You are the one who trusts America and acts provocatively, but you will get kicked from America. The Greek people are also following in the footsteps of Miçotakis, you are constantly complaining, you have no confidence in yourself, you don't care. What's ours is ours, we'll never let you steal it. Enough is enough, thanks to your hypocritical west, you've stolen enough land. According to the UN and treaties, the islands around our mainland belong to us. Forget about the islands that are ours, but how will you get rid of being a state of America? Tell America your nonsense about independence and sovereignty because you are under occupation. You chose to become a state of the United States instead of sharing resources with us.

Various countries have their own local/traditional names for other countries. So far, no one has minded - until juvenile tantrum-thrower Dictator Erdogan (a.k.a. Gollrur) needed a distraction from the disaster his policies are visiting on the country he rules with an iron fist: The most important issue of all issues is the fact that the modern name for Türkiye in English is Turkey - which happens to be the English name for the large chicken species Meleagris that e.g. Nordic nations call "Kalkun".
To my knowledge, the people of Turkey/Türkiye/Tyrkland or whatever people call this particular nation do not really care - the only Turk that seems the have his knickers in a twist is Dictator Erdogan - but,then again, he is in dire need of something, ANYTHING that will distract his countrymen from the fact that his economic and religious policies are ruining Turkey/Türkiye/Tyrkland.
Erdogan is becoming openly ridiculous! In my country (Iceland), Turkey/Türkiye has always been called "Tyrkland", and the old Norse name for Istanbul has always been "Mikligarður" (lit. Great Garden). Is juvenile Erdogan about to throw a tantrum over local naming conventions for his ancient country, one of the cradles of civilization? Methinks you Turks (NOT Turkeys!) need to start thinking about electing a more rational leader...
The funny thing: Turkey (Türkiye) as a nation has been doing fine - it is mostly on the ridiculous Erdogan political and economic front that the country has been floundering.

Over 1 BILLION people aren't going to start saying it that way just because his ego wants it that way. He himself should then obligate his own tongue to pronounce other country names in their respective native names as well. The problem with his approach is that not all languages have the same sounds, the u with the umlaut for instance (IPA: /y/), doesn't exist in English in any accent or dialect...plenty of languages don't have that, nor could their keyboards type that letter either. His idea is likely going to be laughed at and scoffed off as loony, then he'll ''feel insulted'' and ''whine even more as he usually does''.

Yes, but how long can they do that? It seems to be typical for aspiring authoritarians to tighten their grip little by little. The Turkish media is already tightly controlled, and demonstrations against the government are in practice criminalized. It won't probably take long before private citizens will be punished for speaking their mind. Surprisingly the election system in Turkey still seems to work somewhat reliably (unless I'm mistaken).
