Konstantiniyye (Arabic: القسطنطينية, romanized: al-Qusṭanṭīnīyah, lit. 'Constantinople') was a Turkish language online magazine published online by the Islamic State (IS), and released by al-Hayat Media Center.[2] Konstantiniyye is the old Ottoman name for present day Istanbul.[2][3]
The magazine published anti-Turkish messages and targeted Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, and the current Peoples' Democratic Party, as well as one of its militant enemies, the PKK.[4]
In late 2016, Konstantiniyye was supplanted by Rumiyah.[5]
