The common points between Orhan Pamuk, Elif Safak (or Shafak), and some others

You might have heard many Turkish so-considered-intellectuals giving support to the idea of Armenian Genocide.

Did you know that those people have two common points?

1. Trained by Armenian pen-military: Those people usually spend weeks/months at famous Armenian Institutes to study "put whatever comes to your mind".

2. They receive monetary support secretly from those organizations to use properly in their speeches.

Let's give the mic to Orhan Pamuk on this subject:

"My previous novels did not receive the required support from the media to become popular around the globe. The people in the media that usually make novels receive significant attention are generally are in good relations with the Armenian organizations. After I have made speeches on Armenian Genocide (that critisize Turkey), I received generous help from those people. In addition to getting good reviews for my books, I was also given consideration for the Nobel Prize. I am really grateful to them."
