The reason for its change was the names association with the animal, the gov didn’t like it. But like nobody from turkey actually cares, it’s just a formal thing. Funny thing: we call India Hindistan (which means land of the turkey).

You’re supposed to read it in Turkish. It is “týɾ.ci.je” in phonetic but you’re better off googling its pronunciation.
