Fresh run-in with Turkey’s courts for Pamuk

Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk may face another court case for allegedly insulting the Turkish military in an interview with German newspaper Die Welt, his publishers said on Monday.

Pamuk is already on trial under Article 301 of the revised penal code for telling a Swiss newspaper that no one dared discuss the alleged massacre of a million Armenians 90 years ago and the deaths of 30,000 Kurds in the past two decades.
