The name of the country in Turkish has changed. Do you see people in the Anglo sphere calling Germany Deutschland ? No, because Germany is the English work for Deutschland. Turkey is the English word you daft idiot. I’m really not sure why redditors have such a hard on for the Turkey name change.

Pretty sure Türkiye has always been the Turkish name. It is now also the English official name. I'm not sure why redditors have such a hard time using Google.

It is the official English name…according to Turkey - which has no bearing whatsoever on how English speakers use the language.
