    Novelist charged

    LAST CHAPTER

    ISTANBUL - Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk has been charged with the
    "public denigrating of Turkish identity" and faces a possible prison
    sentence of three years, his publisher said Wednesday.

    The charge stems from an interview that Pamuk gave to a Swiss
    newspaper in February in which he said that certain topics were
    regarded as off-limits in Turkey. As examples, he listed the massacre
    of Armenians in 1915 and the ongoing war between Turkish security
    forces and Kurdish guerrillas.
