… Is that not the name of the country? Every source I can find online seems to indicate that’s the preferred nomenclature now. Or does this have some problematic connotation that google isn’t showing me?
I neither know why ordinary people would call it like that, since Turkey is still practically the usual name (more recognisable, easier to write and pronounce), nor why calling it Türkiye anyway would be suspicious.
I just assumed they couldn’t type the u with umlauts but wanted to use the current name; and I just really want to know why that other guy thinks that confers “questionable motives”.

It’s actually supposed to be Türkiye, due to Turkey’s request to be called like that in English by international entities: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61671913

Tbh, that kinda does make more sense… still a weird complaint though.
