The Nobel Foundation once again reiterated that Nobel Prizes cannot be passed on or further distributed, days after the Institute issued a statement saying that a laureate cannot share the prize with others, nor transfer it once it has been announced.
After facing widespread criticism, the Nobel Foundation finally withdrew its invitations to three countries: Russia, Iran and Belarus, saying that the invitations had provoked "strong reactions".
Stockholm [Sweden], March 24 (ANI/Sputnik): Winners of this year's Nobel Prize will be announced in early October in Stockholm and Oslo, the Nobel Foundation said on Wednesday.
