"Thirty thousand Kurds and 1 million Armenians were killed in these lands and nobody but me dares to talk about it," Pamuk was said in an interview published by the Swiss newspaper Tages Anzeiger on 6 February.
"Trideset tisuća Kurda i milijun Armenaca ubijeno je u ovim područjima i nitko osim mene ne usuđuje se govoriti o tome", kazao je Pamuk u intervjuu koji je 6. veljače objavljen u švicarskim novinama Tages Anzeiger.
