STRASBOURG - The European Parliament will set up a committee to
observe trial of Orhan Pamuk, a prominent Turkish writer.
The proposal was made by MPs, who are members of the European wing
of the Joint Parliamentary Commission, the consultative organ between
the European Parliament and the Turkish parliament.
The committee to be formed by European MPs will observe trial of Pamuk,
and convey its views to the European Parliament with a report.
Pamuk is accused of denigrating Turkey and Turkish people as he said
in an interview with a Swiss journalist that 1 million Armenians and
30 thousand Kurds were killed.
If convicted, Pamuk can face 6 months up to 3 years in prison.
The trial will start at the Basic Criminal Court no: 2 in Istanbul
on December 16th, 2005.
