It's odd that a publication like the Financial Times can't be bothered to use the correct name of the country, which is Türkiye and has been officially since 2022, per the UN.

Less rigor might be expected from a less erudite magazine, but these folks should know better.

Turks can't force language usage -least of all English which does not have a governing body. It's like demanding they obey native language spellings for any number of countries. Go ahead, demand that Turkey spell China using hanzi. It's ludicrous. It's like Spain asking English speakers to spelll Spain "Espanna" (but using a tilde on one of the ens and removing the second en.)
