June 1, Fineko/abc.az. The Turkish government has submitted an official request to the UN to change the spelling of the country's name in foreign languages.

ABC.AZ reports with reference to the foreign media that Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu announced this on his official Twitter account.

He noted that the decision was made within the framework of official Ankara's steps aimed at increasing the country's authority in the international arena.
