Orhan Pamuk Case

[Hasan Ali Tokuqin]

I don't like Orhan Pamuk and his novels.He doesen't know anything about Turkey as a naive westrener.He thinks that Europe is golden land for Turks and Turks don't fit into it.He is too polemical than as a author.Like Salman Rushdie who insulted Holy Quran in his Satanic Verses, he looks for fame and prestije.Westren circles like him, because he went American Robert Academy in Istanbul.This academy- always been a headache for Turkey- produced political nightmares like Bulent Ecevit and Tansu Ciller.The Academy produced columints, translators, scholars, scientists, politicians and all of them were harmfull for Turkey.I think this academy must be abolished.It hurts our nation deeply.

I want to point some similarities of Orhan Pamuk and Salman Rushdie here:

Both belongs a wealthy family.

Both went English speaking missionary schools.

Both had no regular jobs.

Both used masonic and religious themes in their novels.

Both had a westren lobby behind themselves.

Both became modern day Fausts,

Both caused a international controversy.

Novels of Orhan Pamuk merely frauds, masonic plots in oriental sense.There is a racsist tinge in them.Turkish storeotypes are ugly, vulgar, unfair and backward.

I can pinpoint a similarity between him and Umberto Ecco:

The best known work of Ecco is: The Name Of The Rose.If the rose is red, it points a famous Rosicurican archtype.

My name is Red, a previous novel by Orhan Pamuk contains a plot on murders of book copiers, caligarphers in Ottoman times.Both books have a plot wise affinity.

He is too narcist .He considers himself as the best writer of Turkey.But too many readers find his novels obscure, boring and inconsistent.The critics don't like his books.His Turkish is awfull.He speaks English better than Turkish.I think he has writer and correction team for his books.The westren lobby behind him used every marketing tool to boost the selling of his novels.Western media made remarks like that :

foremost novelist,

renowend writer,

a great story teller etc etc.

Maybe he is most known, but he is not the best writer in Turkey.

His last declarations on Armeninas are baseless and biased.Orhan Pamuk is a great liar.He using this topic for his own interset not his plight for democracy, free speech, human rights etc etc.He used this chance to leap frog to grasp the Nobel prize.This week Turkish press and media divided on his trial, some defending him as a victim and some blaming him as traitor.He made a havoc at the heartland of our nation.

I am sure jurisdiction will not punish him.He is powerfull, he is rich.He knows West will support him.He considers Turkey as a banana republic and subservient to Western demands on any ground.So his case will not be a litmus for foreign pressure.

Orhan Pamuk is not the first writer insulting Turkish identity.Aziz Nesin, after his books translated into English, had said '60% percent of Turks are dumb.', Ahmet Altan another charlatan said ' Turks are vulgar people.'

That is main theme tactic of prolific writers in Turkey: insult Turkish identity, gain fame, money and prestije world wide.A lot Turkish writers who carved for fame and money and who had nothing to say sold their souls and became lackeys and mouthpieces of West.

The West will back clapp him, applause him, maybe give him Nobel prize.But he will not have a homeland, like Salaman Rushdie.
