After the renaming of Turkey at the UN, the country also wants to push a Turkish name for the national airline. “From now on, we will no longer write ‘Turkish Airlines’ on our planes, but ‘Türkiye Hava Yolları,’ President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Tuesday. The official name of the partially state-owned company in Turkey is actually Türk Hava Yolları.
Almost two weeks ago, Turkey asked the United Nations and other international organizations to stop using the English term “Turkey” and call the country “Türkiye”. “There is no longer ‘Turkey’, only ‘Türkiye’,” Erdoğan said now.
Turkey struggles with English translation
The leadership in Ankara has long struggled, especially with the English translation of the country name – partly because the English “turkey” can also mean “turkey”. However, observers also see the procedure as an attempt to win votes in the nationalist camp.
