It’s because I’m petty as fuck. While I absolutely recognize that nothing I do will have any influence on the Turkish government at all, I like to imagine some Turkish bureaucrat will somehow stumble over my usage and be mildly annoyed.

Again, I recognize that this is petty, ultimately pointless, and probably indicative of just generally unhealthy behavior/decision-making on my part.

Edit - I think it stems from a thought process of “Oh, you want me to spell Turkey differently? Yeah well the Armenians would like you to recognize literal genocide, so fuck you and fuck your spelling.”
