Interesting thing is, until 1923 Turks called it Konstantiniyye. When Capital moved to Ankara, they renamed it as İstanbul.

Is this accouret ?
Yes, only Somalia and Balkans are left out due to picture limitationsIs this accouret ?
If it wasnt for the Ottomans. Constantinople would have been an irrelevant city like Baghdad.
A city that is languishing and living off long lost glory.
Still the Turks dont get credit they deserve.
A lot of the Islamic Turkic Empires built cities like Istanbul, Bukhara, Samarkand, Rey and Mosul. They became jewels of the Islamic World.
I hop not metropol with 15 mil away from seais bad i hop adana grow so much thst it become a portcityDoesn’t matter I’d rather see Ankara grow to super metropol with 15 mio citizen. But I am not sure that will ever happen
The most important thing is that turkey's economic power, the center of GDP, and trade had to be split. A country with decentralized economic hubs is strong. A country with concentrated economic power very vulnerable. Japan 1945 e.g. If Istanbul was destroyed, 60% of the GDP would be lost - this is total insanity!
PERIOD
Brother, I don't give a damn about who is running the country as long as they run the country for Turkeys interests and for the Turks, not for the NorthAtlanticBridge, EU etc. - with clean water, clean streets, clean environment, economical power, military power, diplomatic power - against any enemy on this planet earth, it doesn't matter if its the DHKP-C, PKK, YPG, Can Dündar/Newspapers drinking coffee with Karayilan, or other strange people and groups - A Gov. who is determined to fight any attempt to infiltrate the country through NGOs, Media, Journalism etc. -That is why there is so much political fighting over who gets to govern Istanbul. I noticed that when CHP came to power in Istanbul they started talking about that there aren't any money. Which makes me wonder, if there aren't any money, how did AKP run the metropol in the past.
I also remember reading in a newspaper that a creditline Istanbul Municipality got from a bank was by court order used to pay expenses incurred from previous administration. The entire credit amount.
I don't think he is lying, so the question is how did the previous administration run the city ?
I mean if AKP ran istanbul and paid their "friends" to clean the halic for 10 mio TL (just an exaggerated example), while it could be done with the municipalities own staff for 1 mio TL. Then I can understand how they ran the city.
We all know someone always gets their hand into the honey jar, if you do not have transparency. If you do not have fair tenders and such.
yasallık mesele, adamın kendi toprağı isterse asker ,isterse tank getirir gezdirmeye. ne zaman kalıcı olurlar, resmi olarak kağıt üzerinde oraya birlik kurulur o zaman şikayet etme hakkımız doğar.
Adamlar calismiyor, proaktif degiller.

What a b*tch... Even his tone lol
Hm... If it’s a secret meeting I can understand, but if it is anger over France being informed then he’s trying to keep his actions a secret from France ?
Because istanbulus are spoilt all due to previous governments regardless of party.
When you invest all your stuff on one city this is the result. Us Turks dont know how to manage an economy and never will. This is a fact.
We create a lot of the problems by ourselves. Because its not worth in investing in other parts of Turkey and spreading the economy out.
Its all about Istanbul nothing else. In Australia we seem to have this problem in a way because our governments only care about Melbourne and Sydney who gives a crap about the other places.
We gotta break out this mentality.
