The name "Turkey" has been in the English language for many centuries. It's a bit of a tall order to suddenly demand that everyone start using a different name for the country. Imagine if England suddenly demanded that everyone call them Aengelande. The government decided to do this because they're embarrassed that a bird has the same name as the country. Ironically, the bird is named after the country.
