ISTANBUL — Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim says Istanbul’s Bosporus Bridge will be renamed “July 15th Martyrs’ Bridge” in honor of civilians who died resisting Turkey’s coup attempt. The decision to rename the bridge across the Bosporus strait, which links Istanbul’s Asian and European sides, was taken Monday following a cabinet meeting. Yildirim also announced that monuments to the civilians killed during the attempted coup would be built in Ankara and Istanbul. The July 15 failed coup left about 290 people dead.
