Actually, the name shown in UN M49, "Standard country or area codes for statistical use," is still "Turkey": https://unstats.un.org/unsd/methodology/m49/ and the Online Browsing Platform for ISO 3166 still shows "Turkey" and "the Republic of Turkey": https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:TR despite the claims seen in various places that "it's been officially changed everywhere."
