The name of the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco was inspired by the geography of Constantinople, and it’s famous Golden Gate:
“In 1846, when soldier, explorer and future presidential candidate John C. Fremont saw the watery trench that breached the range of coastal hills on the western edge of otherwise landlocked San Francisco Bay, it reminded him of another beautiful landlocked harbor: the Golden Horn of the Bosporus in Constantinople, now Istanbul. Fremont used a Greek term to name it: Chrysopylae - in English, Golden Gate. In his 1848 ‘Geographical Memoir,’ Fremont added another layer of meaning: The rugged opening to the Pacific, he wrote, is ‘a golden gate to trade with the Orient.’”

Greek PM @KMitsotakis again proves he has the courage to condemn Turkish imperialism in a way no other world leader is prepared to.
Greek PM Mitsotakis: “I really think President Erdogan would serve his people much better if he focused on reviving the ailing Turkish economy rather than reviving neo-Ottoman revisionist fantasies.”
.@POTUS - as we mark the 48th year of Turkey’s occupation of Cyprus, it is time to remind the world - and even some officials in your own @StateDept - of your long standing positions. For example: 👇
Take a good look at this map. Crete, Rhodes, Lesvos, Chios, Samos all consumed by Turkey. Α fever dream of extremists or Turkey’s official policy? Another provocation or the true goal?
President Erdogan must make his position clear on his junior coalition partner's latest antics.
