It is argued that color transparency in quasielastic scattering of electrons and hadrons on nuclei is possible only due to Fermi motion. We found a strong dependence of nuclear transparency on Bjorken [ital x] in ([ital e],[ital e][prime][ital p]); it is close to the Glauber model expectations at [ital x][gt]1, but increases and even exceeds one at [ital x][lt]1. It is argued that color transparency is accompanied by large longitudinal momentum transfer to nuclear matter during the passage of the small size wave packet.
