It's because it is spelt Türkiye, not Turkiye. It is the official name used by organs like the UN, the United States Department of State etc but that doesn't mean you can't be using Turkey. It's like Taiwan, which few people refers to as "Republic of China".

The good thing is that Türkiye is pronounced almost like Turkey, so you're saying it almost right ;)
