Always gotten a persistent ick from them over the name. Having an Armenian main presenter made it weird - like I didn’t know if it was a sign that it was just a name, or a sign that something was very very wrong.
I’m from and in Lebanon. The name didn’t immediately register as تركيا الفتاة (“Turkey the Young” - direct translation but not necessarily intuitively the same). Their legacy here is mostly Jamal Basha "السفاح", literally “The Butcher”. My understanding is that in Turkey they’re looked back on as more of a modernizing reform movement.
