Orhanu Pamuku, koji je 2006. dobio Nobelovu nagradu za književnost, sudilo se po optužbama da je "vrijeđao tursko biće", zbog komentara od prije nekoliko godina jednom švicarskom časopisu da je njegova zemlja odgovorna za smrt 30.000 Kurda i 1.000.000 Armenaca.
Orhan Pamuk, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize for Literature, for example, was tried on charges of "insulting Turkishness" over his comments to a Swiss magazine several years ago that his country was responsible for the deaths of 30,000 Kurds and 1,000,000 Armenians.
