/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish author Orhan Pamuk, the
winner of 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature left for U.S.
In Pamuk's words, his visit to America has cultural
character. Orhan Pamuk is going to deliver speeches at
Columbia University and some other institutions. Cihan
News Agency reports that an official guard accompanied
Pamuk during his check-in.
Pamuk, who was tried under the Article 301 of Turkish
Penal Code, was assigned official protection following
the murder of Turkish Armenian journalist Hrant Dink,
who was also tried under the same article for
"insulting Turkishness." One of the suspects, who was
detained in connection with the murder and reported to
be the inciter of the killer, threatened Pamuk, urging
him "to be smart" as he was brought to prosecution
office two weeks ago.
