The author of famous trilogy Lord of Rings JRR Tolkien stated that the Land of evil Mordor depicted in the book is nothing else than Turkey, Daily Mail reported. Turkish translator of the book, Bilgi university lecturer Bulent Somay called the publication nonsensical. "The Land of Mordor cannot be Turkey. Such statements are caused by anti-Turkish spirits spread in Europe against Turkey's accession to the EU", he said. In his opinion, Tolkien, who is African in origin, cannot have hostility for Turks. "The orks described in the books are anthropoid creatures unlike any human race. They can't be considered Turks. These talks were caused by the accession negotiations and they should be treated seriously", Somay added, Yerkir Online reports.
