It’ll definitely come in handy for driving. Every time I try to drive to Turkey I end up in Barcelona

That’s not so hard to remember! In France, turkey is called “dinde,” derived from “d’Inde” (“of India”), which is much farther east than Türkiye. So just remember that in France, Türkiye = India.

This map should include the Turkish diaspora. Would be helpful for finding the nearest kebab shop

That would be the part in red.

Why don’t they include the Northern Cyprus occupied territories? Are they stuck in the 1973??

Oh shit, it’s straight up on the front page for the MFA.

SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 11 hours ago
But it still doesn’t tell us if Northern Cyprus is part of Turkey or not

If someone hacks them, they need to replace that image with a picture of a turkey

Greece will be pleased with Cypress

The Republic of Cyprus has been independent from Greece for some time now. Cyprus wants North Cyprus back.

TY for gracefully avoiding my egregious mistake.
goes and reads Wikipedia
Oh, since 1960. In that case I’ll re phrase it:
The Republic of Cyprus will be pleased.

Are all those green lines also Turkiye?
Opisek@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 hours ago
Not many people know that, but Türkiye controls all borders across the world.

To be fair, wikipedia does this too and I find it helpful. The problem is the color scheme

What country is the big white bit?
rmuk@feddit.uk 6 hours ago
Also Turkey, but less flavourful.

0/10 map, no key How am I meant to know which colour means turkiye and which means not turkiye
GreenCrunch@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 hours ago
I think the blue part must be the ocean, since water is blue. Perhaps the white is Türkiye!

If they never changed the name from Turkey we wouldn’t have this conundrum

In Türkiye, Turkey was always called Türkiye. They just asked the rest of the world to use the Turkish word.
