Yeah, the asked the international community not to call them after a ~~water fowl~~ big chicken anymore and use their native name for the country instead. Officially it always was "Republic of Türkiye" and not Turkey anyways.

Just a nitpick, Turkeys are ground birds, not water fowl.

Thanks for the correction. I honestly just assumed and didn't think.

The funny thing is the bird is called turkey after the country (despite being american), not the other way around.
