How to read English after Turkey changed its name?

Turkey changed its name to "turky Ye" and pronounced it "tur-key-yay".

Turkey's English country name "Turkey" also means "Turkey" in English. The United States has the habit of eating turkey on Thanksgiving Day. Turkey believes that its country name is linked to Turkey, which affects its national image.

Not only that, Turkey also derived the meaning of "idiot, fool" in English. In Chinese, turkey also has a nickname called "native chicken".

Turks can't stand their country name being used as a joke. At the beginning of 2022, Turkish President Erdogan signed a communique to change the spelling of English country name from "Turkey" to "Türkiye" (Turkish spelling).

Turkish President Erdogan issued a statement saying that the new writing method "best represents and expresses the culture, civilization and values of the Turkish nation", and changing the English country name is "another important step for the Turkish government to strengthen Turkish brand promotion internationally".

Subsequently, the official website of the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and documents on foreign tourism websites changed the name of the country to turky.
