MODERATORS
Apparently the spelling is closer to the pronunciation and is older than the English spelling.

That doesn't answer the question asked, however.
In the wiki article. The request was formally don'e by the government of Turkiye to the UN. It was accepted as a formal name change. And yes, Erdogan is their president. Im also not a fan of him, but calling a country by their name should not be contentious, or should it?
