Seems reasonable that a country should get to decide what its name is, but a step too far if this implies an insistence on how other languages refer to it. ü isn’t a letter in a lot of languages, which creates practical problems like trying to type it on their local keyboard layouts. Türkiye might be the official name in Turkish but we’re still going to need translations of it into other languages and alphabets. IMHO we should try to capture the sound of the country’s native name using English rules of orthography. I think this would give us something like “Tooakeay”.
