“Thirty thousand Kurds and one million Armenians were killed in these
lands and nobody but me dares to talk about it.”
Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk, author of The White Castle and Snow,
could face up to three years in jail, on the grounds that remarks he
made to a Swiss newspaper in February amounted to public denigration
of the Turkish identity.
The trial is expected to start on 16 December, but the author has
already received several death threats and officials have ordered
the seizure and destruction of his works.
