The Turkish government, led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has decided to change the name of the nation from Turkey to ‘Turkiye.’ The name is being changed to rectify the image of the country and make it more attached to the cultural roots etched in Turkish history. As per the statement by President Erdogan, the name ‘Turkiye’ represents the culture and civilisation and expresses the values of the Turkish nation in the aptest way, reported TRT World.

Turkey is becoming Turkiye! Why President Erdogan changed his country’s name

The new name for the nation will be used in all economic activities and international interactions and correspondences. This will ensure that the name ‘Turkiye’ is further strengthened. Furthermore, if it is used in international trade activities, the name will become more of a brand that will represent the country’s experience in various fields.

Turkey is known as Turkiye in the Turkish language. During colonial rule, the country was monikered in the Latin tongue and began its identity with ‘Turquia’ before finally settling for Turkey. The name Turkey also sparks thoughts of other things, with the Guinea Fowl known as Turkey being the most prevalent.

To dust off such confusing terminology and to better represent the country’s rich history and culture, the national government decided to change the name of the country. A tweet honoring the communique released by the President was shared by the head of media and communications in the Turkish presidency, Fahrettin Altun.

The caption tagged along the communique read, “With the circular signed by our President, the name ‘Turkiye’ will be used in all kinds of activities and correspondence with all international institutions and organizations, especially other states.”

Take a look:

Although the transformation is going as smoothly as expected, there are some barriers about the language that may hinder the complete change of names. For instance, the letter ‘Ü’ creates an issue as it isn’t the nominal Latin alphabet.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
