ANKARA: Best-selling Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk might face another court case for allegedly insulting the Turkish military in an interview with a German newspaper, his publishers said yesterday.

Pamuk is already on trial under article 301 of Turkey's revised penal code for telling a Swiss newspaper no one dared discuss the alleged massacre of a million Armenians 90 years ago and the deaths of 30,000 Kurds in the past two decades."
