[Constitution Day]

Why did Constantinople get the works?

[PugetSoundSoldier]

They got the idea from Craig Ferguson of the Late, Late Show.

[pnh102]

They were talking Turkey.

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks!

[Revolting cat!]

THIS JUST IN: New York is being renamed New Amsterdam!

“...and famously declared that Kurds were actually “mountain Turks.””

One Kurd leg is shorter than the other?

Turkey is highly unlikely to replace the name of Istanbul with a Greek name. Turks don’t hate the Kurds. They oppose Kurdish irredentism and Kurdish Communists. Turks hate the Greeks.

So, Bert is right and Islam bashing FReepers are wrong.

The recent article describing a meet between Syria, Iraq, Turkey, and Iran was not about a war compact to rule the world, but about seeking understanding of a common problem, what is the best course for dealing with a fragmented Kurdistan?

You can’t go back to Constantinople,
No you can’t go back to Constantinople,
No you can’t go back to Constantinople,
You can’t go back to Constantinople ‘cause it’s ISTANBUL! (ba-dum-dum-dum)

[rintense]

Oh just change it to Troy and call it good.

[Ciexyz]

I miss the name 'Constantinople' - it has such a history behind it.

[DesScorp]

It SHOULD be Constantinople again, because it’s on the Greek side, and thus, should belong to Greece. Turkey got it by conquest. But it’s a pipe-dream that they’ll ever give it back.

If Russia invaded Turkey from behind, would Greece help?
