Or "Türkiye" as the country is now known officially.

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.
I guess we should stick with Kiev too, then.
