I will call them Turkiye when they call Greece Hellas, Germany Deutschland and China Zhongguo in Turkish.

Have those countries made those requests?
https://tr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pekin Turkish doesn't seem to respect the wishes of the Chinese government with regard to Beijing.
You and I both know that Turkey would never do such a thing.
Regular Turkish people may not. The Turkish government, in official diplomatic communications, most certainly would if those countries requested it.

I don't think we are required to start calling it Turkey in the vernacular. Regular Turkish people don't have to change their names for countries in their language either. I only pointed out Turkey/Türkiye in my original post to head off smart-asses. Using proper casing for the name is much more important.
