Now Istanbul is monolithically Turkish and has very little to offer to the world culturally besides being a pale imitation of the city it replaced.
What does this mean? What does it mean for a city to have something to "offer to the world culturally" and how does a city of 15 million not?
Because it was much cooler when it was the capital of the Romans.
I will not elaborate further.
This is, at least, a more intellectually honest position than those advanced by people in this thread crying about the Treaty of Sèvres.
