Sorry to disappoint you but Constantinople was not renamed to Istanbul simply cause the Turks like it better that way but simply because after the fall of Constantinople and the Invasion of the city from the Turks they decided to give it a new name similar to what they did in the Invaded part of Cyprus which is still not a republic and is not seen as a republic by any other country of the world.
The Turks invaded Constantinople changed the name to Istanbul, took the holy church of Saint Sophia and turned into a mosque.
I don’t want to become racist so I’ll leave it here; but please be cautious when you share stuff like this cause many people have lost their homes and their belongings.

What’s making that song pop up all over the place?
It’s a guerrilla marketing campaign. 🙂
My excuse is just that I really like singing it.
