/PanARMENIAN.Net/ FU Berlin confers an honorary doctorate on Orhan
Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2006. Pamuk, one of
Turkey~Rs most prominent novelists, will be awarded the honorary degree
at a public ceremony in the Henry-Ford-Building of the Free University
Berlin on May 4th, 2007. FU Berlin honors the Turkish writer for his
valuable contribution to world literature and society in general. Pamuk
will sign copies of his books after the event, Deutsche Welle reports.

The awarding ceremony was due in February but Orhan Pamuk had
cancelled the tour amid fears for his safety following the murder of
Turkish-Armenian editor Hrant Dink.

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
