Eminönü

A dead toddler whose body was recovered off the shore of Istanbul's European neighborhood of Ortaköy has been identified as a Syrian child who was reported missing on Dec. 16.

Istanbul Homicide Bureau launched an investigation on Dec. 29 in order to identify the dead child who was believed to be 3 or 4 years of age. 

Police used force to prevent an attempted march protesting the Oct. 10 Ankara Massacre in Istanbul on Oct. 13 after the Istanbul Governor's Office denied permission for the rally on the basis of "sensitivity."

A group of 13 Turks, members of the nationalist Turkish Youth Union (TYG) group, face between one and 10 years of prison on charges of "insult," "inflicting injury," and "violation of the protest and rally law," for attacking two U.S. soldiers in November, according to the indictment sent to court.

The historical Sirkeci train station in Istanbul’s Eminönü neighborhood poses a danger due to damage caused by the ravages of time, and the tender process for its restoration is set to take place
