Sorry MSM, I plan to continue calling the country “Turkey”. As English-speakers, we are not required to assimilate our writing system to a foreign writing system. I’m not going to go around putting a bunch of dots and accents on top of letters, thank you very much.

Is there any consistency on this? For example , we don’t call Germany Deutschland, even though that’s how they pronounce the name of their country in German.
