New case of insult ordered by Turkey

Following the case of Orhan Pamuk, another member of the publishing community is due to go on trial for insulting "Turkishness". The editor, Abdullah Yildiz, of Literatur publishers may face a prison sentence for publishing the besteller "The Witches of Smyrna" by Greek author Mara Meimaridi. The story tells of the last years of the Ottoman Empire, and is set in Izmir. The story describes some of the city's Turkish quarters as "dirty".
