They asked for being written Turkiye especially in English. In Deutschland we can go on calling their country Türkei because out turkey is called Truthahn.

I have no opinion on this, but maybe it just takes more time. I don't hear anyone calling Chinas capital 'Peking' anymore, only Bejing, but that didn't happen instantly either.

I do. That's the correct name/spelling in Swedish.

Sorry, I didn't make that clear, I meant in Germany, as the commenter talked about the German translation of turkey.
