Topbas:Istanbul square to be named "RABIA"

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Esenler Dortyol Square on Monday, Istanbul Mayor Kadir Topbas said the square will be named Rabia, meaning four or the fourth in Arabic, which has become synonymous with the anti-coup protests in Egypt. Speaking to press members, Topbas said that he would submit an official proposal to the Metropolitan Assembly and Esenler District Assembly to change the new square's name as Rabia. Stating that the idea came from Esenler Mayor Mehmet Teyfik Goksu, Topbas commented on the developments in Egypt, saying, “No power can stand against the will of the people.”
