He also said that the change of spelling and pronunciation of the Turkish name from “Turkey” to “Türkiye” has been implemented from the moment Cavusoglu’s letter was received.
Cavusoglu wrote a message on Twitter: The process we started under the presidency of “RTErdogan @” with the aim of increasing the value of our country’s brand is coming to an end.
He added: In a letter we sent to the UN Secretary-General today, we register our country’s name in the foreign languages used by the organization as “Türkiye”.
