PanARMENIAN.Net - "In 1915 made almost the half of the Turkish population were non-Muslims, who were expatriated or destroyed. This topic should stop being a taboo," young Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk, whose works are known by European readers well, said in an interview with Hurriyet newspaper. The state leaders consider that there is no need to address that topic, as there is a problem in relations with Armenia. "I am not interested in the issue of state relations with Armenia. Many people were annihilated here," O. Pamuk said.
