I like to think that I'm respectful of all men,but just what is it about Istanbul and your Insistence on calling it, by It's ancient name???, You lost, they won, accept and move on FFS, look to the future rather than dwelling on the past, History cannot be changed only lessons learnt

( Ypu must remember that invasion and conquest with cultural supression etc is only allowed to be done by Greeks like e.g. by the so called Mycenaeans and by Megolomaniac Alexender the Great.

The word "ISTANBUL" is the combination of the three greek words "Is Tin Poli" meaning to the polis, i.e., to Constantinople (the Greeks used to call Constantinople "the Polis".

So, I would rather use the initial whole Greek name (Constantinople) than the three Greek words that indicate the same city.

Isn't it so very simple?

- Only a totally corrupt, unethical and mercenary Olympic Committee would ever allow the Turks to host these games without first the whole of Asia Minor being restored to the Greeks.

restoration of Asia minor to Greece probably ain't going to happen anytime soon even if the Kurds acheive an independeant state carved out of Turkey Syria Iraq etc.,
Turkey should however be denied the privilge of hosting the Olympics until it has withdrawn all its trrops and settlers from Cyprus.

And grant full rights to its minorities, including the Alevies and the Lazoi and the Circassians. And turn Aghia Sophia to a Christian church again and stop calling Greek antiquities Roman. And allow the reopening of the Chalki Seminar.

Absolutely! All of these conditions should be met not only before Turkey is ever allowed to host the Olympics but also before it is ever allowed to join the EU.

It's not the ancient name fool. It's the proper name. 'istanbul' is the temporary occupation name of the city. But soon it will be free... :wink:
