Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti reveals the story behind his meeting with Orhan Pamuk

Prime Minister Albin Kurti, in a post on his social media account, stated that he had long conversations on many topics with Orhan Pamuk, whom he met for dinner at a restaurant in Istanbul's Beyoğlu district, and noted the following:

"When Dr. Bilgin Sait told me that author Orhan Pamuk had invited me to dinner, I didn't believe him at first. As the evening approached, the minutes felt as long as hours to me, while the three and a half hours I spent with him flew by like minutes. Perhaps we managed to write the introductory summary of the chapters of our future friendship."

Stating that Pamuk has a spontaneous kindness and an intimidating level of interest, Kurti emphasized that he is very interested in Kosovo, the Albanian people, and the Balkans.

Kurti used the expressions, "An honor I cannot explain, a happiness I cannot describe."
