@BridgeOvertroubledWaters And? Maybe He's thinking it will good to go back to that one.
@ineedadrink the Byzantines are long buried

Yep. Now it's Turkiye. I don't think it's due to the bird. That's an English word. I do think it's about nationalism promoted by a wannabe dictator.

Are they tired of Americans constantly making thanksgiving day jokes when they’re there? 😂

Hmmm????

Would "Ottoman" be appropriate?
@Heartlander been used before, it was rejected
@TheSirfurryanimalWales that name is good for our name game 👍

Do they eat turkey in turkey?
So they want to be called Sodom?

I guess they need a second rebranding, the first time due to that bad reputation of genocide, this time for ethnic minority violence.
