      abstract = {Orhan Pamuk, Turkey's best-known modern novelist and  winner of the Nobel prize in 2006, became a pariah  overnight for speaking out about the Turkish role in the  Armenian genocide. In February, 2005 he stated in an  interview with a Swiss newspaper, "Thirty thousand Kurds,  and a million Armenians were killed in these lands and  nobody dares to talk about it." After that, Pamuk's books  were banned, there were riots, and threats were made on his  life. He was even forced to leave the country for a time.  Filmed after he returned to his native city of Istanbul, he  avows his passionate attachment to his country; at the same  time, he insists the nation should know the truth about its  history, and that there must be freedom of speech. Formerly  known as "the sick man of Europe", Turkey suffers from a  deep insecurity about its identity. The heavy-handed state  response to Pamuk's remarks in a Swiss newspaper shows why  the country faces so many hurdles when it seeks to join the  European Union.},
