Thirty-thousand Kurds were killed here, 1 million Armenians as well. And almost no one talks about it, ... Therefore, I do.

Thirty thousand Kurds and 1 million Armenians were killed in these lands and nobody but me dares to talk about it,

I repeat, I said loud and clear that 1 million Armenians and 30,000 Kurds were killed in Turkey, and I stand by that.

I have killed no one and I have ordered no one to be killed.

Thirty thousand dollars is 180,000 rand. And $180,000 is a lot more than that over there.

The fictive structure, my work, my imagination, my books are about the details, the huge construction about culture, Islamic culture or modern Turkey. They're all intertwined.
