    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:

    In May 2022, the Turkish government requested the United Nations and other international organizations to use Türkiye officially in English.

    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”.
