Türkiye is the Turkish spelling of Turkey. Notice that Greece, China, and Thailand are also labeled in their native languages. Why they're the only three to get such treatment I have no idea.

As for it being an effort to tap those lines, that doesn't make sense to me. They could easily be tapped elsewhere and if the owning companies were involved (as the article implies) then they could probably do it in such a way to have no unexplained downtime.

But what do I know. I still think we landed on the moon so I'm obviously credulous.
