Sample Comments
the country is named turkey for a reason
"Turkey -> Türkiye", doth not the problem solve.
Oh, didn’t realize that was Turkish.
"us" means Turkey in my comment, was unclear sorry.
It's Türkiye by the way :rolleyes:
It's Turks all the way down
wow some Turkish stuff on HN. nice to see.
It's interesting to see even a Turkish person still writes "Turkey" and not "Türkiye".
A turn-key solution to avoid confusing turkey and Türkiye.
Probably referring to the "turkish i problem"
