It's retarded even. In Germany there is a city called Aachen, which was the seat of Charlemagne. In French we call that city, which is also part of our history, Aix-la-Chapelle, so I do not see why we can't call the City Constantinople and you Istanbul without starting a debate.
That may be so, but I do not think it conflicts with what I'm saying. I call it Constantinople because I am Greek and have always called it so, it is part of my family's birthplace with a long history there. If others want to call it Istanbul, feel free.
