/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Supreme Court General Judicial Assembly decreed
for opening a court case against writer Orhan Pamuk, laureate of
the Nobel Prize for Literature. The author faces a fine of 36,000 TL
(16,655 â~B¬) in compensation because of the following statement he
made during an interview published in Switzerland in February 2005:
"On this ground 30,000 Kurds and 1 million Armenians were killed
in Turkey".

Pamuk was awarded the symbolic "Grand Medal" by Paris Municipality
Mayor Bertrand Delanoe on 6 October. Pamuk said in the ceremony:
"I am receiving this medal also on behalf of the city of Istanbul
where I live."

In Turkey, Pamuk was just saved from a prison sentence. However,
for his ideas he has been tried for compensation for 4 years now,
Turkish media reported.

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
