Periskopi(7 years ago)
(7 years ago)Turkish authoritarian president may not like many people for many things, but he will no doubt enjoy his strong statements against Austrian controversial writer Peter Handke. He openly condemned the division of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature for Peter Handken, the policy supporter of former Serbian dictator Slobodan Milosevic. [...]
“The Nobel Prize in Literature a racist person means nothing but the reward of human rights violations”, Erdoğan said in a message with the Human Rights Day case.
Handke is known as a great fan of Milosevic, who died in 2006 at the international tribunal in The Hague while being tried for war crimes and genocide.
Austria had even attended the funeral of the Serbian dictator, also known as “The Balkan Cup”.
He is also an unbeliever of the Serb genocide during the Bosnian war.
Handke has claimed that Bosnian Muslims in Sarajevo had killed themselves, adding that he never believes Serbs committed genocide in Srebrenica, the Anadolu Agency reports, Kosovo conveys.
Handke had also visited Milosevic in prison and had tried to testify in his favor.
“I am here for Yugoslavia, for Serbia, for Slobodan Milosevic”, was expressed at a 2006 Eulogy for Milosevic.
With the Nobel Prize won, Handke will also receive 9 million Swedish chrones (952,000 dollars), as well as a medal and a diploma.
