The country "Turkey" is now TÜRKIYE since June 2022- It should be changed in IMDb database, in my opinion

"Following an official letter submitted to the United Nations by the Republic of Türkiye, the country's name has been officially changed to Türkiye at the UN." (03 June 2022)

Shouldn't it be changed in IMDb database? It always hurts my eyes when placing a submission where the country must be added...

The URL to United Nations statement is : https://turkiye.un.org/en/184798-turkeys-name-changed-t%C3%BCrkiye

Furthermore, as a most recent example, the team of Türkiye reached UEFA 2024 quarter finals just 15 days ago..

It seems I should have posted this issue as a Problem instead of Idea. Will post again soon in Problem section to get attention.

You can edit and change "Idea" to "Problem"

Folks may not look for TÜRKIYE

https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?countries=TR  (Turkey) : 26,675

add:

Turkey   aka TÜRKIYE
TÜRKIYE aka Turkey

@ACT_1​  IMDb is renowned for its accuracy and people should educate themselves. In my opinion the change should be implemented.
