Orhan Pamuk may have emigrated from Turkey. Two weeks after Hrant
Dink's assassination Pamuk departed for New York, where he was going
to deliver a lecture at the Columbia University. Here Pamuk from time
to time delivers lectures. But his relatives deny information that
he has decided to emigrate from Turkey after receiving threats. "He
has not fled from Turkey and there is nothing strange in his absence,
he will return," stated one of his colleagues. Like Hrant Dink, Pamuk
was being prosecuted for "insulting the Turkish nation", particularly
for his statement in a Swiss newspaper that 1.5 million Armenians
were killed in the Ottoman Empire. Most recently one of suspects of
the Dink assassination advised Pamuk to "think it over" RFE/RL reports.
