Winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature Orhan Pamuk has published
another book called "The Museum of Innocence". The novel containing
592 pages, tells about the love of a rich man towards the sunset of
modern Istanbul.

The author is working at the English version of the book at the moment
and german-speaking readers will have the novel in September.

Pamuk had to leave his apartement in Istanbul because of eternal
threats from Turkish society and government and went to live in
the USA.

Note that Pamuks’ books admitting Armenian Genocide and representing
the facts of Qurdish people’s massacre were burnt in the streets
of Istanbul. Moreover, Turkish government had opened a court trial
against Pamuk accusing him of "hurting Turkish peoples’ feelings".

By the way, Orhan Pamuks’ books have been translated in more than
40 languages.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
