Turkey is the latest to join the list of countries that have changed their names throughout history for various reasons.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The United Nations<\/a> has officially <\/span>recognised<\/span> Turkey renaming itself <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span> after a request from Ankara advocating for the new name. The UN implemented the change immediately after receiving the request.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The move is part of a rebranding campaign launched late last year by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan towards an identity that \u201cbest represents and expresses the culture, <\/span>civilization<\/span> and values of the Turkish nation.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most Turks already know their country as <\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span>. However, the <\/span>anglicised<\/span> form Turkey is widely used, even within the country.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The rebranding is also part of measures taken to disassociate the country\u2019s name from that of a bird. Turkey, a large bird native to North America \u2014 famous for being served at Christmas or Thanksgiving dinners.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced that his country would be sending a letter to other international <\/span>organizations<\/span> requesting the use of \u201c<\/span>T\u00fcrkiye<\/span>\u201d in the international arena.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The name change combines the English version of the name with its Turkish-language name, pronounced similarly but with a \u201cyay\u201d at the end.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Most recently, the Czech Republic got a new name and has seen a slow adoption of \u201cCzechia\u201d while the Netherlands also dropped the name Holland. In <\/span>honour<\/span> of its 50th anniversary, Swaziland changed its name to become Eswatini and Macedonia since 2019, is formally known as North Macedonia.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Turkey recently also announced a price hike in its citizenship by investment program<\/a> that came into effect in June this year. The minimum real estate investment amount was raised from 250,000 USD to 400,000 USD. Other requirements for applying remain essentially the same.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
