Well Ivory Coast no longer exists and it's now Cote d'Ivoire. Ditto East Timor/Timor-Leste. It's hardly particular to Turks.

No one in Finland calls the country Cote d'Ivoire. It's still "Norsunluurannikko", which means "Ivory Coast".

Good for the Finns. But the country's name has become Cote d'Ivoire, even for English speakers.

Lol, no. Everyone still says Ivory Coast.

This is true, though on the other hand almost nobody says Upper Volta these days.
