Pamuk was "just trying to point out that first you have to face it -- a tragedy or a dispute or a problem, at least," Tugrul Pasaoglu, the writer's publisher and an editor at Iletisim publishing house in Istanbul, said Wednesday.
Pamuk je "samo pokušavao ukazati kako se prvo morate sučeliti s tragedijom ili sporom ili, u najmanju ruku, problemom", izjavio je u srijedu Tugrul Pasaoglu, književnikov nakladnik i urednik u nakladničkoj kući Iletisim u Istanbulu.
