Turkish nationalists consider that Orhan Pamuk's awarding with Nobel Prize is "West's fee for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide." Some 80 representatives of Turkish intelligentsia adhering to nationalist views stated this Nobel Prize is not an award for Turkish literature but a fee for Orhan Pamuk. They insist that "the awarding committee is not capable to read books in all the existing languages and the Nobel Prize in literature has become an mechanism to mislead publics," reports RFE/RL.
