I'm ok with using their preferred name, just like Czechia instead of Czech republic, but I have no idea how to properly pronounce Turkiye.

You pronounce it turkey.

And no its not like the Czech Republic thing, thats something caused by the government name, you don't call Germany Federal Republic of Germany either?

But turkey just wants to bitch their language into others, thinking its ok to push people to use their name for it. Its literally wrong. It has letters in that aren't even in the English alphabet. If we allow that the Arab countries want their names to be written in their language, China, Russia and so on. NO. Thats not going to happen.

I do agree that it should be latin without any accents, but again I'm ok with calling Georgia Sakartvelo, China Zhongguo, etc.

But then you encourage idiots who think o, ø, ö, and œ are basically the same bloody thing.
