The United Nations has approved Turkey’s bid to alter its name to ‘Turkiye’

The United Nations authorised Turkey’s request to alter its name from Turkey to Turkiye on Wednesday, according to Stephane Dujarric, a spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

According to the spokesman, the change took effect immediately after the UN chief received a letter from Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu requesting that the country’s name be changed.

According to reports, Cavusoglu stated that the change in spelling was made as part of a plan to boost the country’s worldwide standing.
