I was in Turkey last week for a holiday and didn't have any problems. Maybe you should wrap yourself in a bubble and hide in your loft for the rest of your life?

Based on a bit of good old prejudice methinks!

How is that any different than going to a Sunday market in London, and being scammed by a Cockney (white, English born) into parting with £20 for 5 bottles of perfumed 'designer' pond water?

I have been to Istanbul and I have flown on Turkish airlines and I am still alive . Is this a record ?

Lol, probably are best to use the "Kayak" instead of flying there

Istanbul not Constantinople ?

Istanbul not Constantinople ?

This airline has a very poor safety record.

I think he may have been referring to the classic [Istanbul song] by American alternative band They Might Be Giants.

Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night

Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
