/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Nobel Prize Laureate Orhan Pamuk conducted a tour
to Europe to introduce his new novel titled "Museum of Innocence". In
an interview to Euro News TV Channel, he confirmed that Turkey really
committed the murder of over 1 million Armenians.

Turkey and Europe are currently in search of identity, Turkish
historian finds. "If Europe is a Christian club built on the principles
of nationalism and Christianity, Turkey has nothing to do there. But
if Europe is built on freedom, equality and fraternity principles,
it may give certain role to Turkey. Although in such case the country
will run the risk of becoming the mirror reflection of Europe which
is trying to establish its identify by considering the issue whether
or not to accept Turkey. Turkey too, is solving a self-identification
issues in trying to determine whether Islamic religion, nationalism
or some other idea may be the its distinctive feature," he said.

The same week, the board of Turkey’s Supreme Court passed a decision
on resuming trial against Pamuk under Article 301 (insulting Turkish
identity).

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
