“When I met with South African President Nelson Mandela to accept Öcalan, there was my wife Hristina and, according to rumors, the Indian secretary, Mandela’s latest love, plus the two of us in the room. Mandela, ‘Adam Stalinci. I also don’t like their fight. What will we do? ‘He asked his secretary. He was convinced by the secretary’s answer.
KENYA MACERASI
“The Greek businessman TA’s plane, which took Öcalan to Johannesburg, South Africa, landed in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital, to refuel after a 6-hour flight. At the same time, we learned that Mandela had resigned. Öcalan’s attendees approached the new South African president and asked if the invitation was valid. The answer was negative. He did not trust the Greek ambassador George Kostula in Nairobi. I told him not to take Öcalan to the embassy and to transfer him to the Kenya-Tanzania border. A Tanzanian minister of Greek origin had large lands on the border. Öcalan could hide there and seek asylum in Tanzania. The next day, I learned that Kostula received Öcalan with his three concubines at the residence, arguing that she was tired and did not obey my orders.
NON-EXPLOSIVE MONEY
“Wherever Öcalan went, he didn’t leave a small suitcase with him. When he was caught in Nairobi, he left this suitcase in the car. EYP member Savas Kalenderidis called (a Greek ex-agent who was Öcalan’s bodyguard) and said that explosives could be found in the suitcase and that in case Öcalan was caught he could take this suitcase with him to use for commit suicide. The suitcase was opened at the Greek Embassy. From there came a very large coin in $ 100 bills. “
Pangalos’ book also contained the following statements: “The Kurds have been our enemies since the War of Independence (1922). A large amount of money was being allocated from the fund covered in Greek Foreign Affairs for the Kurds to receive scholarships and treatment in our hospitals.

However, on January 25, 1996, Kilimli Mayor Dimitris Diakomihalis took the island’s police officer and two other people, went to the cliff of Küçük Kardak and planted a Greek flag. He also sent the images he took to televisions. If Diakomihalis had warned us about this action, which became one of the most terrible provocations in recent Greek history, we could have avoided it. “
