As reported by Tert.am’s correspondent in Istanbul, the decision
to name Istanbul’s Safak Street after Hrant Dink will be made by
Istanbul’s municipal authorities in about two months, said Shishli
district council member Harutyun Ergyush, who was elected to the
position this year.

As previously reported by Tert.am, the Shishli district council
already approved the decision earlier this year and had sent the
necessary inquiry to Istanbul’s municipal authorities, who will have
to provide their final approval. In Ergyush’s words, the decision by
the Shishli district council had been unanimous.

The corner of Safak and Halaskarghas was where Hrant Dink was killed
in January 2007.
