British politician Paul Golding has successfully continued the Free Constantinople trend. The \u201cFree Constantinople\u201d trend was started by American politician Steve Bannon a few days ago on the X platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supporters are Growing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let us remind you that Steve Bannon, a former member of Donald Trump\u2019s administration, was photographed wearing a \u201cFree Constantinople\u201d T-shirt a few days ago. Shortly after, his post went viral and many users bought the T-shirt, promoting the idea of \u200b\u200bretaking Istanbul from the Turks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This online trend was continued by large pages with various related images. One of the most important such posts was made just a few hours ago by British conservative politician Paul Golding, who is a co-founder of the right-wing party Britain First.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The photo posted on X by the British politician shows the Hagia Sophia in the hands of the Greek army. A large Greek flag can be seen on the top of the dome of this imposing church, while in front of it are several soldiers in armored vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSoon,\u201d wrote Paul Golding in the description of his publication, a publication that has already been viewed by more than 3 million users worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The specific photo, which was produced by an artificial intelligence tool, has gone viral in recent hours on the X platform. Many accounts are reposting it, supporting the \u201cFree Istanbul\u201d movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among these accounts are independent analysts, journalists and media outlets with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. A good example is the independent analyst and journalist Babak Taghvaee, who republished the image in question, writing the following in the description: \u201cAfter the fall of Erdogan\u2019s neo-Ottoman empire, Istanbul will once again become a key city of Greece.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other similar images of Greek soldiers in front of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul are also making waves on the internet. One of them specifically shows young Greek soldiers holding a large Greek flag outside the church, wearing traditional Greek army uniforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Certainly, the Turks are following this trend with particular irritation and concern. Many of them are expressing their dissatisfaction by commenting under these publications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" British politician Paul Golding has successfully continued the Free Constantinople trend.
