Tmbg: Istanbul was Constantinople, now it’s Istanbul not Constantinople, been a long time in Constantinople, why did Constantinople get the works? That’s nobody’s business but the Turks!

The name for a city which existed 600 years ago, and after being captured by the Ottoman Turks, is now called Istanbul. Despite the Greek beliefs that Istanbul is rightfully theirs, this is not true as the Ottomans rightfully won it, with no cheating etc. It is now by right belonging to Turkey. Greeks should stop dreaming that Russia will capture it back for them.
"Istanbul, not Constantinople" the lyrics of a song by The Four Lads, later covered by They Might be Giants

A city which is currently under the custody of Turkey (since it has been besieged by the Ottomans in the 1400's) but in fact belongs to Greece (Hellenic Republic).
Constaninople is erroneously called "Istanbul" by the Turks (at least, that's how they call it). It is the capital of the Eastern Orthodox Religion, since centuries ago.
Constantinople will soon be captured by Russia, and this will happen because of the big disputes between Europe and Turkey (thus Turkey will no more have control of it) and then it will once again be given to its original owner (the Hellenic Republic, or Greece).

After Constantinople is freed from the dirty dogs (turks)
1/3 of Turks will be converted to Christianity
1/3 will die in the big slaughter which is coming soon
1/3 will flee to Asia
