The reason for its change was the names association with the animal, the gov didn't like it. But like nobody from turkey actually cares, it's just a formal thing. Funny thing: we call India Hindistan (which means land of the turkey).
Does it affect the spelling?
You're supposed to read it in Turkish. It is "týɾ.ci.je" in phonetic but you're better off googling its pronunciation.
