Pamuk to pay compensation for his words
2006 Nobel Prize-winner Orhan Pamuk is to pay 6,000 liras (about $ 4 000) in compensation for "offending the Turkish nation." The decision was taken by a Turkish court.
"A million Armenians and 30,000 Kurds were killed in this country (Turkey) and I am the only one who dares to talk about it," the prominent writer said in 2005 during an interview with a Swiss newspaper.
