I will argue for the "e" as it has an "e" in my atlas and in nearly every map you can find on the internet 
Still wrong. Suriname is the Dutch word and in that country most people speak Dutch up till now. If you use the local lingo for international names, can I call the UK here than also ´Verenigd Koninkrijk´?

I hear most of Europe and U.S.A. people do not know Türkiye ( Turkey).
I hear they think Türkiye as an Arabic country in the Middle East.
Is it true?
If so, they are not interested in the World History and Geography.
However they are well-educated and cultured people usually.
Turkey is a country?! You mean this is NOT a cooking website? I´ve wasted all this time!!

Can´t speak for others, maybe that´s true. But, Yilgun, weren´t you the one that thought my country is the same as Holland? Does that mean you are not interested in World History as well (my country is famous for it´s rich history in trading in the 17/18th century, also notorious for slavery in Africa/Surinam - no ´e´ Libra!! - and more). What do you know about France, Sweden, Finland, The Civil War in the States and much more? Isn´t it a little short-sighted to call people ´not interested in World History´ just because they don´t know YOUR country well? Maybe these people do know a lot about Australia, Peru, South-East-Asia etc.
Aren´t you being a little hard on the poor chap? He only asked if people know of Turkey was....not if then knew the history. Perhaps his English is not that polished.
Actually if one is interested in history, Turkey is one of the more important areas to study as evidence of the oldest human habitations, temples and such are from there. Hmmm...let me see Göbekli Tepe, Çatalhöyük, Ephesus....and others....

I can assure you, that is definitely true.
for the Americans; you are middle eastern, arab, islamic, terrorist
you live in a desert, ride camel, marry four women
If so, they are not interested in the World History and Geography.

I can also assure you that not all of them are well educated or "cultured". the great majority of them are ignorant and primitive minded. and that`s nothing unique to them. it`s the same in Turkey or anywhere else in the world.
