Just a brace of a trace of a hint:
The Turkish Wizard of Oz -- before its capital was Istanbul it was known as Constantinople. If anyone needs a reminder of the dog's name in TWoO, please do let me know[/size=1]
The capital of Turkey is not Istanbul; it's Ankara. I'm just sayin'.
Thanks, Ali ... and yes, of course, you're right -- it's Ankara now. But -- and I quote from that impeccable source Wikipedia  
"In its long history, Istanbul (Constantinople) served as the capital city of the Roman Empire (330-395), the Byzantine Empire (395-1204 and 1261-1453), the Latin Empire (1204-1261), and the Ottoman Empire (1453-1922)." Wasn't the latter considered a Turkish state?
Anyway - I think my review still works ... hope you do, too

Yep. It's justb that your hint implied that Istanbul was the capital of the current Turkish Republic at one point.
Anyhoo - cool review. Just voted for it.
