I didn’t realize they were colonized by Hezbollah.

Anyway it was an unlucky analogy on your part and that’s it. Cheers

Oh yeah because Cyprus chose to have UK bases in its territory. Bruh

Nothing on the subject then. Gotcha

Thanks for the downvote :) But on point, it’s not the same, is it? Turkiye is just Turkey in the Turkish language, it’s not a change of the country’s name like going from Burma to Myanmar. It’s more like saying Deutschland instead of Germany. In fact for that one there’s a bit of a history, the view being that Myanmar was more inclusive as opposed to Burma which relates to the Bamar ethnic group. And it was the UK that primary opposed the change from the colonial era name, which brings us again to the issue of colonialism and the fact that the English think they can tell the world what to do because they control the narrative on the internet.

Timmy, Turkey illegally occupies half of Cyprus since 1974 - to name just one of all the other “nice” things they’re doing - so them “asking the world nicely and the world going fair enough sure” is a feel-good little story you can tell your feeble-minded friends. Then again you sound like a Brit so your country is responsible for all this with your great divide and conquer tactics that fucked the entire world so you might want to keep your mouth shut altogether.

Agreed, but for some weird reason the fact that Turkey is the only one where somehow everyone suddenly abides by their whim pisses me off.

Maybe irrelevant but who the fuck decided that Turkey is to be called Turkiye now? If you’re speaking English it’s fucking Turkey. Otherwise better start calling Germany Deutschland, Finland Suomi, Greece Ellada and so on.
