Pamuk

Turkey is using the charge of insulting President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an to intimidate his opponents and silence dissent and European leaders must take a tougher line with Ankara on free speech, Nobel prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk said on May 3. 

Some 1,124 books of Turkish literature have been translated into 60 languages in 65 countries as part of a project that was first launched 11 years ago, the Culture and Tourism Ministry has said.

The famous writer, Orhan Pamuk , is the world’s first writer to create a novel and a museum about his work as well as to have a documentary made about his project.

Pamuk came up with the idea in 1990s to write a novel and to make a museum at the same time.

Nobel laureate Orhan Pamuk has said that recent investigations and detentions of academics who signed a petition calling for an end to security operations in the country's southeast did not suit Turkey, urging for a moderation.

Internationally acclaimed Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk has accused the European Union of turning a blind eye to the state of democracy and media freedom in Turkey because of its cooperation in the migration crisis.

The physical manifestation of Turkish Nobel Laureate author Orhan Pamuk's "The Museum of Innocence," which was published in 2008, has opened at Somerset House's Courtyard Rooms in London. 

One of the world's most prestigious literary awards, France's Le Prix Medicis Etranger, was presented to Turkish author Hakan Günday for his novel "Daha," which is about immigrants. The award is presented each year to the best foreign novel in France. 

"Ay vud layk to tank di Nobel komiti?" 

Oh, I'm kidding. Both our Nobel laureates Aziz Sancar (2015) and Orhan Pamuk (2006) are fluent English speakers. But as a Turkish person with ears used to the accent, I can pick up the Turkish stress in their spoken English - a nuance I like very much. 

Exhibits from the Museum of Innocence, the award-winning Istanbul museum created by the Nobel Prize-winning novelist Orhan Pamuk in 2012, will go on show early next year at the Somerset House in London as part of a special display, the Art Newspaper has reported.
