Is it Istanbul or Constantinople?

So long story short, I was in a thread a few days ago on another board and I mentioned that I've been told that the girls from Istanbul are sexy, I was immediately corrected that there is no such thing as "Istanbul" and that the right name is constantinople, as far as I know (and also a quick search on google) Istanbul is the official name, but I'd rather ask you guys since you may know about this topic.

so which is it?
what's the name that Turkish people actually use?

Constantinople is its historical name
Same as you don't Mexico City Tenochtitlan
If other cunt controls it or the Turks decide to revert the official name then it will be Constantinople again

It's Istanbul since it got changed by the Turks when they became a nation state rather than the ottoman empire.
Le based Eastern Rome is a thing at the moment though so a lot of people larp about it being Constantinople

Byzantium

KARA BOGA headquarters

No idea, but all I know is that it should be the capital of Turkey instead of Ank*ra

Retarded crusader LARPers say Constantinople.

We don't larp, we really killed muslims in chechnya.

Google translate gives really shitty translations, so I don't understand anything of it, but you have admit it that Ankara is a shithole and Istanbul a global city.

You're right but those are the lyrics of a pretty catchy song so I couldn't let this chance go by.

Kek. You got rekt by Chechnians. Only by Putin bribing the Chechnians were you able to stop the incessant killing of Russian school children. Don't delude yourself.

my dude

They changed the name from Constantinople to Istanbul in the 1920s. So it's Istanbul.
