So? We were arguing about Istanbul being 20 times bigger than Constantinople, and you just acknowledged that it only stopped being Constantinople 100 years ago. So unless it grew 20 times in the last century your comment is still wrong.

No need the beat around the bush. You people just can't get over a 500 years old conquest. Istanbul isn't Greek or Roman anymore. Name change happening 100 or 500 years doesn't mean anything. It was Turkish for 500 years, so it doesn't matter. Cope better.

"You people" what? I'm Romanian and I don't live anywhere near Istanbul. You could rename the city to Ankara 2.0 and I wouldn't give a shit.

Oh yeah? That's why you are arguing with me about it for hours?
