国际笔会祝贺奥罕·帕慕克荣获诺贝尔文学奖。国际笔会会长叶尔利·格鲁沙在今天说：“我们祝贺奥罕·帕慕克，因为他是一位结合了出色写作与勇气及人文智慧的作家。对笔会而言，他代表了一种全球视野的开放，朝向创立一个多创性的和平世界。”
国际笔会秘书长乔安妮•利多姆-阿克曼女士欢迎奖讯说：“奥罕·帕慕克丰富而有条理的叙事，架起了连接不同世界的桥梁，打开了通向体现文明处于十字路口的文学、历史和语言之门。”
国际笔会欣喜这位重要作家的作品以此种方式得到褒扬。奥罕·帕慕克是一位出类拔萃的作家，也是一位倡导言论自由的大师。
奥罕·帕慕克本人去年曾被控侮辱“土耳其国格”，在土耳其刑法第301条追究下受审。国际笔会希望他的获奖将凸显这个事实，许多作家和记者仅仅因为表达了他们的观点，正在土耳其遭受审判。
国际笔会狱中作家委员会主席卡琳·克拉克博士指出：“奥罕·帕慕克写作有关少数民族特性及经历的问题。对于太多的土耳其作家来说，这会把他们带上法庭，并且有时还会带进牢房。我们因此特别高兴，一位有如此品格和勇气的作家获得了这一荣誉。”

International PEN congratulates Orhan Pamuk on being awarded the Nobel Prize
12 October 2006
International PEN congratulates Orhan Pamuk on being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Jirí Grušá, President of International PEN said today, ‘we congratulate Orhan Pamuk as an author who combines great writing with courage and humanistic wisdom. To PEN, he represents an opening of global perspectives towards the creation of a peaceful world of creative differences.’
International Secretary, Joanne Leedom-Ackerman welcomed the announcement saying ‘Orhan Pamuk’s rich and textured storytelling bridges worlds and opens doors to literature, history and language that shows civilisation at its crossroads.’
International PEN is delighted that the work of this important author is being celebrated in this way. Orhan Pamuk is a writer of extraordinary merit and he is also a great advocate for freedom of expression.
International PEN hopes that this award to Orhan Pamuk, who was himself on trial last year under Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code for insulting ‘Turkishness,’ will serve to highlight the fact that there are still many writers and journalists in Turkey who are on trial solely for expressing their opinions.
‘Orhan Pamuk writes on issues that relate to identity and the experience of minorities. For too many writers in Turkey, this can lead them into the courtroom and in some cases, prison. We are especially pleased that a writer of such quality and courage has received this honour,’ commented Dr Karin Clark, Chair of the Writers in Prison Committee.
