That doesn't answer the question asked, however.
In the wiki article. The request was formally don'e by the government of Turkiye to the UN. It was accepted as a formal name change. And yes, Erdogan is their president. Im also not a fan of him, but calling a country by their name should not be contentious, or should it?
