“We are very pleased to bring together Armenian readers and the work of a Nobel laureate author,” said Hamazkayin Chairwoman Lilit Kalstyan, adding that intercommoned dialog would develop with cultural exchange. The idea to translate the novel into Armenian originally came from Turkish Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, who was murdered in 2007. The novel’s main character, Ka, witnesses firsthand the clash between radical Islam and Western ideals along his journey. The novel, published in Turkish in 2002, and translated into English in 2004, tells the story of a Turkish poet who travels to the border city of Kars after having spent 12 years as a political exile in Germany. YEREVAN (Combined Sources)-Turkish Nobel laureate Orhan Pamouk’s novel “Snow” has been translated into Armenian by the Yerevan chapter of the Hamazkayin Armenian Educational and Cultural Society.
