Ankara renames US embassy
The name of the street where the Embassy of the United States is located in Turkey's capital has been changed to "Olive Branch", AzVision.az reported citing NTV.

The former name of the street was Nevzat Tandoğan, who was the fourth mayor of the capital.

Olive Branch is the name of Turkey's ongoing anti-terror operation in Syria's Afrin launched on January 20, which targets U.S.-backed People's Protection Units (YPG), which is the Syrian offshoot of the PKK terrorist organization.
