I don't know if istanbul has its sights set on the west as such..Sounds as if it means anybody who makes progress is western before eastern,

@AbuOmar,

My understanding is that the Turkish government considers promoting anything non-Muslim to be anti-Turkish culturally so if Istanbul is going to be a European cultural capital, it needs to revert to Greek ownership and the name 'Constantinople'. Nothing against Istanbul and Turkey, but under current Turkish laws, you're not allowed to promote historical European culture inside the city. 

It should just be a model for the Islamic world if it doesn't want culture of Christian origin.

@MegaAstrodude again lack of understanding from a greek guy...look dude..just go and mind your own business, that means dont watch it if you dont like...by the way i have nothing against greek people:))))

[easternshock]

@MegaAstrodude I know, it's quite sad that the government tries to do that, but then again there will always be us, the non-muslim turks in istanbul, trying to promote European culture :)
