Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006, has denounced what he described as a climate of "fear" in his country, in an interview published in daily Hürriyet on Dec. 7.

"The worst thing is that there's a fear. I find that everyone is afraid; it's not normal ... Freedom of expression has fallen to a very low level," Pamuk said.
