Turks: "you refer to Constantinople as 'the city' right?" Greeks: "yup" Turks: "In greek 'Istinpolin' means 'the city' right" Greeks: "yup" Turks: "'istanbul' is simply a turk variation of the term" Greeks: "makes sense to me" Turks: "Then it's Istanbul" Greeks: "It's Constantinople"
Only Constantinople. Even Istanbul is a Greek name "Istinpolin" (towards the city) but now the name is ugly, too much Turkified. Hence, only Constantinople, Constantine the Emperor of the Greeks! In 1821, the Greek heroes who "sent" the Turks out of Europe and liberated Greece, drew their strength from Constantine who died defending the city. It is written in the official memoirs of theirs. Such was his power and generally the power of the legends. One day it will be in European hands, again, one day, my good friend! And we Greeks aren't greedy. We will share the city. We only want to manage our second most Greek temple, Hagia Sophia, after the first, the Parthenon. Although, Turks tainted the temple too much, defiled it with their stingy feet. Now, 'cause of that, I'm on the fence whether I want it back or not.
Fun fact: the song dates back to 1953 Canada and is made by the Four Lads although the version you hear in this video is from 1990 and made by They Might Be Giants

I think this song just has something to do the with newly formed Turkish Republic renaming Constantinople to Istanbul.
turkey changed constantinople to istanbul in the 1920's
Greece is turkish.
With the new spelling of Turkey being a thing, I say we go back to calling it Constantinople.
What are you arab?
rename it to instantinople, that's how you solve it.
Nah, it's Tsargrad
