Orhan Pamuk’s winning of the Nobel Prize for literature brings Turkey’s Armenian controversy to the forefront once again, in a very public way. Here is a golden opportunity for Turkey, a democratic and secular country, to confront its past. Turkish authorities should recognize that this is an issue that requires open discussion and then deal with it. Such a discussion would not insult “Turkishness” but rather elevate opinion of Turkey. It is the mature and right thing to do. Its time has come.
