Amidst this controversy, a top UN official has said that the UN considers requests from countries to change their names only when requests are sent to them to change their names.

 

Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, on Wednesday also cited the example of Turkey changing its name to Turkey last year.

Referring to Turkiye's case, he said that at that time we had responded to a formal request given to us by the government. If we receive such requests further, we will consider them.
