Novelist denies 'genocide' claim
Orhan Pamuk threatened with trial and prison by the supposedly democratic Turkish government for suggesting the Armenian massacre perpetrated by the Turkish government of 1917-ish, is backtracking. This is a pity.
The Turks want to come into the EU but are currently refusing think seriously about the EU demand for them to admit responsibility for the massacre of tens of thousands of Turkish Armenians. Unless this is going to be a bargaining chip for the long term. The time scale for entry is 10 years, by which time they might feel they can accept responsibility for the wanton killing of so many innocents.
