Tarcan \u00dcl\u00fck, an attorney of \u0130zmir Bar, applied to \u0130zmir Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office and filed an allegation against Orhan Pamuk and his book “Nights\u00a0of\u00a0Plague.”<\/em> In his complaint letter, \u00dcl\u00fck said that the book Nights\u00a0of\u00a0Plague<\/em> written by Orhan Pamuk “insulted Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk” and “incited hatred.” \u00dcl\u00fck added a statement made by Pamuk to a Swiss newspaper at the time Pamuk won the Nobel prize. \u0130zmir Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office initiated an investigation after this statement.<\/p>\n

Giving a deposition to the office after the complaint, Orhan Pamuk said, “I did not write anything in my book that implied Mustafa Kemal Atat\u00fcrk.\u00a0 There is no expression that implies that the character in the book, Chief Captain Kamil was chasing crows when he was young. I always focus on crows as a special hobby of mine. I have such an interest because I was small when I was young and was called as a crow by my family. Turkish Flag has got nothing to do with the Greek pharmacy logo. I do not accept the allegations.” And he refused all the allegations.<\/p>\n

According to the news<\/strong><\/a> of TELE 1<\/em>, the prosecutor’s office in their investigation concluded that the book does not contain any direct defamation against Atat\u00fcrk and the character in the novel was described as a person loved by the folks and the file was dropped due to lack of grounds for legal action. However, attorney Tarcan \u00dcl\u00fck objected to this decision of the prosecutor’s office. Investigating the objection, the Criminal Court of Peace concluded that the book included some defamatory expressions that could be deemed as “defamation” in some parts of the book and therefore, the writer Orhan Pamuk should be put on trial in this respect. The Magistracy noted that the collected evidence should be re-examined by the prosecutor’s office and accepted the objection of the complainant .<\/p>\n
