Thanks but dont forget that. Here is İstanbul since 1453.

Not true, it wasn't called like that since 1453. Check your history...

what about your multi population ?

In our hearts She is and She always will be CONSTANTINOPLE. You can call it whatever you want for yourselves

natural disasters show no mercy and recognize no borders.Its sad when human lives lost by earth's will and wrath.

@ my fellow turkish citizens: this article is obviously written with good intentions. so theres no need to be offensive against the author.
@geokos: thanks for your good wishes, however you should have known by now that Turkish people are sensitive regarding the name of our biggest city. It is called Istanbul.
- for those debating about the history of the name of istanbul, have your knowledge before presenting your ideas. get the facts here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul#Names" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Istanbul#Na[..]Names

burak that was a question to your people? how is your ex president?

@Van Raus
I know name changed in 1770 but İstanbul is in our control and we are not using that name. We didnt change its name at first, cause we were understanding. But i saw, that was wrong.

and istanbul is στην Πόλη or εις την Πόλιν in your language. Learn that too. Write somewhere.

@ Trelo Gavros
It would be always in your heart. It will be never real. Here is İstanbul. And look at the map to see it's name 😉

@Jaguaros;
I like your society builder medal,bro 🙂
It's shining ! 🙂

Firstly, wikipedia can NOT be considered as a source.. Everyone can upload anything.. correct or NOT..
But the fact is that people lost their lives and it's a shame fighting each other..
But Gani Gunay, when the Greeks where saying "Ι'm going εις την Πόλη" (to the City), the people who was living in the area and didn't know the greek language, made a new word from the sound of that phrase.. that's how the word ISTANBUL created. It's not insulting for Greeks but we feel better to call the City as Konstantinoupolis (Constantine's City).. as our ancestors did an as it's been written to our hearts..

@anilkoc
yağmur felaketi için sanırım baş sağlığı diliyorlar ölmüş insanlarımıza. Ama İstanbul demek yerine malum ismi kullanıyorlar. Yani önce bizimle toplarını paylaşıp sonra topu patlatıyorlar 🙂

@Zonianos
You are writing in Turkey's post. Please write English or Turkish.

it derives from the Greek phrase "εἰς τὴν Πόλιν" [istinˈbolin] or in the Aegean dialect "εἰς τὰν Πόλιν" [istanˈbolin] (modern Greek "στην Πόλη" [stimˈboli]), which means "in the city", "to the city" or "downtown".[5]

@Burak
You do well, try to do some advertisement as well from time to time, will not heart you 😉 You spent too much energy to similar to your ex-tanks activities.

What kind of a sorry ass condolence is this?

İstediğiniz kadar "Kostantinoupoli" desenizde burası İstanbul(islambol)'dur.1453,1922 Tarihleri yetmedi galiba?Ha birde 1974 var.Unutmadan 1996 yılındad ki Kardak adasınıda unutmayalım 😃

This is a useless arguement. you Greek friends are free to call our city any way you like. I live in Istanbul and if you wish to send me a letter you HAVE to address your letter to ISTANBUL. otherwise I can not get your letter and feel sad, since theres officially no city called constantinopolis on earth. 🙁 😃

thanks for your good wishes.

we will heal ourselves

Long live to Constantine, Constantinopolis lives since 324 of our Lord. And you won't silence it. Go Greece! Go men of Byzanthium, arise!

@Vladimir Alexia

this topic is not your business your country people.Go home puppy

P.S:Freedom for Catalonia!

Ya beyler teşekkür edin geçin. Ne derlerse desinler. İsterlerse Kansas City desinler.Madem baş sağlığı diliyorlar eyvallah. Fakat sizi kızdırmak, tartışamaya çekmek istiyorlarsa istediklerini vermeyin.

Thanks Greek friends. We appriciated by your sensivity.

Voted! Stop this about the name, it spoils the purpose of the article.

Vatopaidis ασχολίαστο...

no matter what all we call this beautiful city. its not time and place to argue this in this article. thank you bros for all your best wishes .

thank you greek friends

@geokos
i think this is the wrong place to call it Kostantinoupoli,
you can do this in another article 😉

thanks for you best wisher..

in the other hand, author of this article is not honest. he just came and wrote about provocating.

here is istanbul, not a city in your hearts.

@Vatopaidis
Are you a human? I dont think so.

YAŞA FATİH SULTAN MEHMET YAŞAAAAAA İSTANBUL HERZAMAN MÜSLÜMAN VE TÜRK KALACAK 3 ÜN 1 İNİ ALIRSINIZ

Hey, thank you for being sensitive and caring 🙂We are all humans at all...

and I'll have no comemnts regarding the name of a city, but I know that it is also called Istanbul in English, it doesn't concern me if it is different in Greek.

also i dont read all comments and it doesnt matter. Thank you for this touching article.

@Jaguaros,
I like your liars sometimes 😃
Be carefull bro 🙂

Why don't you attack Marmara region to get Istanbul back? 😃 lol

since 1453 İSTANBUL..!!

IT'S ISTANBUL not Kostantinoupoli..

Since 1453🙂

Thanks for your good intentions.

I never believed that the name of the city would be the theme of the article.
The real intentions of the article were for me to show my sympathy to your dead people.

Ps. Would it be better if I changed the name of the city to Geokospoli ? IoI

@Geokos;
Here isn't a discussion area for RL things.Can you get out ? Or talk about eRep 🙂

Voted!!!Every time i bring in my memo the CONSTANTINOUPOLI i feal tears in my eyes....!!!"Pali me xronia me kairous.....Pali dikia mas tha'nai!!!"

sie lan ipneler sizi

Voted.

Istanbul, beautiful city.

üstteki arkadaşın dediği gibi konstantin olarak geçiyodu geçen yüzyıla kadar. 1453 diyen cahillere duyurulur

1453'te olan olaylar gücünüe mi gitti leoa? sende baya etkili olmuş heralde o tarih acısı uzun süre çıkmaz gibi gözüküyor..

şehrin istanbul değilde başka bi isimle anılması çok mu hoşuna gidecek? istanbul since 1453 yada istanbul since 1923 ne farkeder? istanbul istanbul dur şu an ve 1453 ten beri de bize aittir. sıkıysa gelip alsınlar..

dear turks.. you changed the name but still Istanbul remains a greek wor😛)))
