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

In certain areas of Germany this map can be useful as a reminder.

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.

But it still doesn’t tell us if Northern Cyprus is part of Turkey or not

checking map
“Huh. So Japan ISN’T Turkiye? TIL, I guess.”

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

Can confirm, am not in Turkey.

Are all those green lines also Turkiye?

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

I’m amazed they didn’t paint Cyprus red

It’s made out of copper, just wait for a bit and it’ll oxidize.

This map should include the Turkish diaspora. Would be helpful for finding the nearest kebab shop
Skullgrid@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That would be the part in red.

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

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.

What country is the big white bit?
MBech@feddit.dk 2 months ago
It’s both Turkey, while also not Turkey.
rmuk@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Also Turkey, but less flavourful.

Technically they should have that on their Ministry of Here Affairs website

0/10 map, no key How am I meant to know which colour means turkiye and which means not turkiye
GreenCrunch@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 months 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
protist@retrofed.com 2 months ago
In Türkiye, Turkey was always called Türkiye. They just asked the rest of the world to use the Turkish word.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Türkiye’s flag is red and white so I’m pretty sure it’s either the red or the white
