[edit] Very Poor Article ! Many Factual errors!
- I really do wonder who is coming with the phrases which assert that the names of Turkish cities were something else before 1930. Angora is an ancient name for Ankara but it wasn't in use for quite a while before 1930. Same goes with Constantinople and Istanbul. Constantinople was the name used only by westerners, it was not in use by Turks at anytime. And although some Turkish governments changed some place names for political reasons, that was not the case for any of the major cities like, Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Bursa...
- And also how people came up with phrases like :
-
- Angora is a vilayet-> No it is not, Ankara is a vilayet!
- Vilayet is city in Ottoman-> No, there is no language called Ottoman, it is Turkish and vilayet means province, not city!
- Kayseri and Kirsehir are two centers in the vilayet of Angora->No, they are two provinces (and capital cities of these provinces with the same names) different from Ankara!
- The only industry in the province is weaving-> Oh come on! Ankara is the capital city, it has 4 million people and some more industry than that!
is beyond me. Did someone copied this down from a 19th or 18th century travel notes?? Wikipedia would have been better without this article.
