Turkish Producer, UN Name Change and Ottoman Hegemony
An anonymous donor from Kansas identifies as a Turkish producer and criticizes the United Nations' move to change the country's official name pronunciation to "Türkiye." The donor argues that Turks do not abide by other countries' preferred names, citing the Turkish use of "Almania" for Germany. The donor also dismisses the idea of modern Turkish hegemony based on the Ottoman Empire.
