A name of the country

Burma or Myanmar, these two words do mean the same thing. They refer to same country in Southeast Asia that is home to around 50 million people of various ethnic groups, the largest one of which is Burman.  Why many rejected it's change was the repressive regime changed the name from Burma to Myanmar without consulting the people in 1989.  It became a symbol of oppression.  Now , the country is under a series of reforming, its official name is becoming more internationally used and accepted.  The country is often in the international news and it is understandable for the international community when they choose to call a country something other than its official name.    There is no political agenda in using Myanmar to support a repressive regime. Aung San Suu Kyi and her supporters have been reminded to stop using the old name .  Referring the country an old name seems disrespect to the government and they are making a big issue out of it.  Changing to new identity won't erase the bad history in the past at once.  The country is still in need of positive changes which prove the real reform.
