Quoting Doug Ewell via tz on Monday June 06, 2022:
Actually, the name shown in UN M49, "Standard country or area codes for statistical use," is still "Turkey": and the Online Browsing Platform for ISO 3166 still shows "Turkey" and "the Republic of Turkey": despite the claims seen in various places that "it's been officially changed everywhere." This may be only a matter of time, though.
The UN Terminology Database (UNTERM) has implemented the requested change: https://unterm.un.org/unterm/display/record/unhq/na/356ac538-feb4-4d8a-a4e9-... The ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency is going through its standard process to evaluate the change and is expected to make a decision later this month. kim
