In an article as of Feb. 25 Turkish Hurriyet Daily News once again appealed to Sisli municipality (Istanbul) to rename “Ergenekon Avenue” to “Hrant Dink Street”.

“We believe the city should reconsider. This would be a small but important monument to the memory of a man who did so much to foster understanding. And it is a small step that would certainly ease and enable the much larger diplomatic, political and social leaps that we hope will follow,” the daily reads.

The author says that the streets’ name changing should be quick and easy unlike resolution of political problems and confidence-building that requires long period of time.

Hurriyet reaffirms its support to Armenia-Turkey reconciliation process and Turkish government’s steps directed towards study of Armenian language in the universities. It also backs restoration of Armenian churches in Turkey. The daily mentions these all processes are very complicated and need transformation in Armenian and Turkish societies, thus they need time. However, the name of the street should not be among them, the Turkish newspaper reads.
