On 31 August, the award-winning author of "My Name Is Red" and "Snow," who is also viewed as a possible candidate for the Nobel Prize for literature, was charged with "denigrating Turkish national identity" over remarks he made to a Swiss paper earlier this year about the mass killings of Armenians and Kurds.
Nagrađivani autor romana «Zovem se Crvena» i «Sneg», koga smatraju mogućim kandidatom za Nobelovu nagradu za književnost, optužen je 31. avgusta za «klevetanje turskog nacionalnog identiteta» zbog izjave koju je dao švajcarskom listu ranije ove godine o masovnim ubistvima Jermena i Kurda.
