alt Hacker NewsYes? The country is named Türkiye, we should use that name?
The etymology here is interesting and has a looooong history. The country has officially been named Türkiye for over a century.

Words come from the people who use them. The name for a place is in the context of the language and culture that is using the word to reference it.
And Germany's official name is "Bundesrepublik Deutschland". I get to call it Germany though.
