Turkey is a country (less than 100 years old under that name) and Anatolia is a region, aka Asia Minor. Makes sense to keep the national name out of it since Anatolia was populated and ruled by quite a few different peoples, including the Greeks, long before the Turks rode in from the steppes.

In fact the coastal cities were still predominantly Greek until the 1920's when they were ethnically cleansed by the forces of General and then President Ataturk ("Father Turk") founder of the Republic of Turkey, occupying all that was left of the Ottoman Empire. The Armenians weren't the only people to be manhandled and massacred by the Turks.
