the bird turkey was imported to English speaking countries from Turkey, hence the name. To Turkey, it was imported from India (Hindistan) and that’s why the same bird is called “hindi” in Turkish.

Portugese sold oranges, you call that fruit “portakal”. Karpuz est le dieu des fruits in ancient greek. All these names have their histories. There are thousands of names like this.

Claiming that the country is insulted because of sharing its name with a bird, Erdogan’s propaganda team distracted most people from real issues.

don’t participate in the pathetic and hyped inferiority complex shit-show. Turkey is Turkey.
