Orhan Pamuk does not want to build bridges between East and West

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.
