They don't, and nobody's patrolling the Internet to smack people who say Turkey. But in many areas of the world, names of places can be intensely politicized, so organizations like the article source ("the energy dedicated portal that aims to deliver up-to-date news and analysis across the energy agenda in 20+ countries in Central and Southeastern Europe") prefer as a matter of style to conform to official pronouncements. If they'd been around in 2019, they would have talked a lot about "FYROM" or "the former Yugoslav republic of Macedonia": an incredibly unwieldly name, one that has probably never been used colloquially, but was necessary in order to avoid taking sides between Greece and the country now known as North Macedonia.
