You find "Tunali" cr.ap however its long form is "Tunalihilmi"
Tunali Hilmi was a politician during the first Republic years (1923)
He was also a good writer and worked for purifying Turkish language.
He was one of those who supported women rights unfortunately he died in 1928 before the women got right to elect and to be elected in 1934.
The street doesn't have an attractive name like 5th avenue or Champs Elysee but its "Tunali" for 80 years and it will stay so. Either you like it or not |
That told you DMB |

What do you mean by Niyazi?
It is a name and perhaps means wish. |
