/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The European community is watching Turkey - an
aspirant to the European family - persecuting well-known Turkish
novelist, who expressed his opinion about the Armenian Genocide, Die
Welt reports. The matter concerns Pamuk's statements on 1.5 million
Armenians slaughtered in the Ottoman Empire. Pamuk is to stand trial
on December 16, 2005. His words can be interpreted as offence "of
the Turkish national self-consciousness." In the court Orhan Pamuk
will have to prove that 1.5 million Armenians were really killed. The
persecutions of Pamuk arouse a question. Is it a purposeful action
to remove the "best Ambassador of liberal Turkey" or is it a part of
a political campaign coordinated at the state level?
