Everyone else continues to call it Turkey, especially newspapers. It’s why the Wikipedia article continues to be called “Turkey”. Neither me nor you are a country or international organization.
Same with Ivory Coast and its official name “Côte d’Ivoire”.
We did not do it with “Türkiye”. Also note that ü is a different letter from u, not just a u with decoration.
The Turkish government requested international organizations to refer to Turkey that way:

That’s simply restating something that I said we should do differently.
A country requested to be called differently, and people still call it what they know it as. I’m saying it’s fine if we try to learn it.
Yes, u and ü are pronounced differently - more to my point.
The US prefers to be called “America” yet I still don’t call them by that name either.
I don’t need to abide by what some fascist Turk says you should call their country or not.
Maybe once Turkey stops trying to wipe out the Kurds I’ll respect what far-right Turkish nationalists want that country to be called.
Lol - That’s just deviating from the entire context of the discussion, but ok.
