What is a ruin? We're running off of "You know it when you see it" at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like. Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to [email protected] Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to [email protected] Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to [email protected]

Upvoting just for acknowledging the new spelling
It isnt even the new spelling. The new spelling has that weird "u" with the dots. Only Turkey would decide a new international name using characters that arent default. They could have gone with Turkia(like Czechia) or even Turkiye, but no, they had to be assholes for no reason so they can complain when people misspell their name. Victim mentality minmaxing.
Not to mention that the reason for the change is beyond silly(because the old name sounds like the bird). But at least thats their prerogative.
ü - the dots are called an umlaut 😊
Did they change the spelling because of the English word for the bird?
From wikipedia
In any case, there is 0 reason not to use latin characters for your international(english) name. I dont think there is any other country that does that.
