Suggest fixing the title, eg 'Oppo has pulled their factory out of Turkey'.

The previous one was "Republic of Turkey", no one called them that. Like France is "République française", and Germany "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" and no one call them that.
Turkey is ok I think.

I wouldn't want people to use the native name of my country when speaking English. It would sound extremely awkward.

They can call it whatever they want in Turkey, but that's not the English name.

This kind of stuff makes me totally understand why they formally changed their name to Türkiye.
