Shops and restaurants with Turkic names in Tabriz, Iran, received
Persian names lately. Turk restaurant was renamed into Ertak; Istanbul
market became Rman, for example.

New Year festivities were banned. Students, who decorated a fir in
one of youth clubs, were warned against conduction of any events,
while the club was smashed up by the police, 1news.az reports.
