Arkadaşlar merhabalar,
Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin kısaltması olan "T.C."yi yine kısaltma şeklinde ingilizceye nasıl çevirebiliriz.
Republic of Turkey (R.P.) şeklinde mi olmalı, yoksa başka bir kullanım var mı?
Çok teşekkürler...

Explanation:
This is not a hard-to-know definition for an TURKISH Academician!

disagree  Kim Metzger: You forgot to say what T.R. stands for. And it is not a title for a Turkish academic.

Explanation:
In my opinion, you have to type this in full becuase a foreign readership will not be familiar with this abbreviation. Alternatively, if there are space contstraints (e.g. on a form), I would use "RoT" and also give an explanation of what this stands for.
