Nobel laureate author Orhan Pamuk has become embroiled in a legal dispute with his neighbors over the urban transformation process of their residential building in Istanbul, which was deemed as risky in terms of earthquake resistance.

Orhan Pamuk, a prominent novelist and Turkey's first Nobel laureate, has tied the knot with Aslı Akyavaş, with whom he has been together for nearly 10 years.

The couple's wedding ceremony was held at Beyoğlu Municipality's Office in presence of their close family members due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 8th Lahore Literary Festival, hosted in Pakistan's second-largest city, kicked off on Feb. 21 with special guest Orhan Pamuk, Turkey's only Nobel laureate in literature.

Speaking to journalist Ahmed Rashid at the festival, considered one of South Asia's premier cultural events, Pamuk expressed his love for his hometown Istanbul, Turkey's largest city.
