    Turkish-Armenian writer NiÅ?anyan to be jailed on charges of illegal construction

    Ä°ZMÄ°R ` DoÄ?an News Agency

    The Turkish-Armenian writer and linguist Sevan NiÅ?anyan was expected
    to be jailed on Jan. 2 and serve a two year sentence approved by the
    court of appeals over the charges of illegal construction in Ä°zmir's
    town of Å?irince.

    The prosecutor's office decided that NiÅ?anyan could remain free until Jan. 2.

    NiÅ?anyan completed the construction of a house in Å?irince town despite
    the court decision, ruling he should not enter the area, which is
    natural site.

    NiÅ?anyan is one of Turkey's leading linguists. He has penned columns
    for the Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos and daily Taraf.
