The source appears to be from Turkey it’s self. What else would they label and spell themselves as in their own language?

The FR doesn’t have auto translate as far as I know. Should posters first translate titles from sources before posting here?

Due to source it is correct as Turkiye.

Recently, the Turkish government has been trying to get the rest of the world to call the country Türkiye. But here in America we say Germany, not Deutschland, India, not Bharat, Austria, not Österreich, and Ireland, not Éire, so I will continue to call the country Turkey.

But you tried to correct a title sourced from Turkey. Are you implying another country should adapt their terminology and self identification to suit you?
