/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Contrary to the existing image, Turkish Nobel Prize
winner in literature Orhan Pamuk does not want to be the constructor
of bridges between East and West. He made this statement in Hamburg
at his first speech during his author's tour through Germany. "It
is not my task to explain Europeans Turkey and Turks Europe. My task
is to write good books. And if I touch upon the subject of relations
between Europeans and Turks, I do it only because I do not want them
to conflict with each other," Pamuk underlined. He considers himself
as a representative of both sides. Pamuk has been awarded the title of
honorary doctor of Free University of Berlin, Deutsche Welle reports.
