    JAILED ISTANBUL-ARMENIAN WRITER THANKS AL-MONITOR

    February 03, 2014 | 13:49

    Well-known Istanbul-Armenian writer, linguist, journalist and columnist
    Sevan Nisanyan, who is in a Turkish prison since January 3, thanked
    Al-Monitor media site.

    In his Twitter account, Nisanyan thanked Al-Monitor for running an
    article about him, and posted the link of the article.

    In his article entitled "Why is Turkish writer Sevan Nisanyan in
    jail?", which Al-Monitor published, Turkish analyst Orhan Kemal Cengiz
    states that, in actual fact, Nisanyan's Armenian origin and his views
    had condemned him to prison.

    In late December 2013, the Turkish Court of Appeals upheld a civil
    court ruling that was made in 2008 against Nisanyan. Pursuant to
    the verdict, he will spend two years in prison for carrying out an
    illegal construction.

    Sevan Nisanyan has constantly raised the Armenian Genocide issue and
    stood out by his fearless manners in Turkey.
