International conspiracy day by day

The first nail came from Moscow, and I felt all kinds of betrayal. The second nail came in Rome; despite all capitalist tricks, I did not give in and yielded nothing of my dignity. And the final nail, third in place, was driven in Athens, where I faced unparalleled treason-I felt paralyzed! The fourth nail was in Nairobi, and I was handed over to Turkey leading an execution trial. At the end of the cross conspiracy-four nails-I was being held in the isolated Imrali prison in the Sea of Marmara, and they wanted me to remain hanging here on the cross, waiting for death. Therefore, I am not a prisoner of Turkey but a prisoner of the international conspiracy.

These are the words of Abdullah Ocalan, the leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party. When this party began its armed struggle, the Turkish occupying state claimed it would not last more than 6 hours, but the party has continued its existence and armed struggle for 47 years. Leader Ocalan also mentioned these words in the final pages of his book "International Conspiracy: Defense of Athens," which talks about the conspiracy that was plotted against him.

The conspiracy referred to by leader Abdullah Ocalan began in the early 1990s. It was planned by the United States and some NATO countries, with the primary goal being the elimination of the leader.

In this context, on October 27, 1994, U.S. President Bill Clinton and Hafez al-Assad met in Damascus and held talks that lasted 4 hours. During this meeting, the leader Abdullah Ocalan was discussed for 3 continuous hours, and they claimed he was the "biggest threat" and should be targeted. The first assassination attempt on him took place on May 6, 1996, through a bombing in Damascus, but the attempt failed.

Due to American diplomatic and military pressure on Syria, leader Abdullah Ocalan was forced to leave Syria on October 9, 1998. He went to several countries, but due to American pressure, he had to leave each country. In the face of these attempts, Abdullah Ocalan went to Kenya in an attempt to resolve the Kurdish issue democratically and peacefully, but on February 15, 1999, he was kidnapped while leaving the embassy and handed over to a team of Turkish occupation intelligence at Nairobi Airport.

After the conspiracy, leader Abdullah Ocalan explained this issue in detail in his books and analyzed it. In titles such as "NATO-Gladio Operation," "The Beginning of World War III," "The Biggest Conspiracy of the 21st Century," and "The First Step in Middle Eastern Intervention," he extensively analyzed this issue.

The international conspiracy has reached its 27th year, and leader Abdullah Ocalan has been held in a solitary confinement cell in Imrali Prison since he was brought to Turkey, describing this cell as a "coffin." In difficult detention conditions, Abdullah Ocalan recounts the details of the conspiracy in his book "The International Conspiracy: A Defense of Athens."

The process that began in 1994 with the Clinton-Assad meeting and continued until February 15, 1999, is as follows:

On February 23, 1996: Turkey and Israel signed a military and training cooperation agreement, reaching the level of strategic cooperation. Under this agreement, Syria was jointly encircled.

On April 9, 1996: A secret meeting was held at the White House between Greek Prime Minister Costas Simitis and U.S. President Bill Clinton, and the main topic was the leader Abdullah Ocalan.

On May 6, 1996: The first attempt of the international conspiracy against leader Abdullah Ocalan was carried out through an assassination attack in Damascus. A bomb exploded in the garden adjacent to the house where the leader was staying, and he survived the assassination without injuries. Less than half an hour after the explosion, London newspapers announced that leader Abdullah Ocalan had lost his life.

In May 1997: Turhan Tayan, the Minister of Defense in the government of Necmettin Erbakan, visited the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights.

On September 16, 1998: The commander of the Turkish occupation army's ground forces, General Atilla Ateş, demanded from the Syrian border the surrender or isolation of leader Abdullah Ocalan. Following Ateş's statements, the international conspiracy came into effect, and significant pressure was exerted on Syria from various parties.

On September 17, 1998: Immediately after the Simitis-Clinton agreement, the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, was summoned to Ankara and asked to pledge loyalty to the United States and Britain. Subsequently, a meeting was held with the President of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Jalal Talabani, who was sent to Washington. On the same day, the Kurdish autonomy agreement was signed between the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, and the United States in Washington. The aim of this agreement was to liquidate the Kurdish liberation struggle and cooperate on the Syrian issue. It was also agreed to transform the governance system in Iraq into a federation.

On September 30, 1998: In a meeting of the Turkish National Security Council chaired by President Süleyman Demirel, military options against Syria were discussed. On October 1, Demirel announced a threat of military intervention against Syria.

On October 3, 1998: NATO forces began extensive military maneuvers in the İskenderun ilçe on the Syrian border. These maneuvers involved 2,500 soldiers and personnel from American forces. These developments were interpreted as preparations for war against Syria. Concurrently with these maneuvers, American warships and advanced missiles were moved to the eastern Mediterranean near the Syrian border. At the same time, Israel deployed its military forces in the Golan Heights. All these movements coincided with statements from Ground Forces Commander Atilla Ateş and President Demirel, who directly targeted Syria and leader Abdullah Ocalan.

After these statements, the Turkish occupation army deployed its forces along the Syrian border from Hatay to the Cizre region in Şırnak, and a state of maximum alert was declared at the air bases in Amad (Diyarbakır) and Malatya. On the other hand, the United States engaged in diplomatic efforts with Egypt and Saudi Arabia to exert pressure on Syria. In this way, the trilateral alliance between the United States, Turkey, and Israel reached the highest level of pressure on Syria.

Leaving Syria

Before October 9, 1998: The United States, NATO, Israel, and Turkey intensified the military, political, and diplomatic siege on Syria. This pressure peaked on October 9, 1998. Syria succumbed to these pressures and agreed to their demands regarding the Kurdistan Workers' Party, after leader Abdullah Ocalan refused to cause a war on Syria.

On October 9, 1998: Leader Abdullah Ocalan left Syria on a Syrian passenger plane from Damascus Airport heading to Athens. When the plane landed at Ellinikon Airport in Athens, the former Greek Minister of Transport and PASOK party deputy, Kostas Paduvas, who had personally invited Abdullah Ocalan, did not show up. Instead, the senior officer Savas Kalentiridis and high-ranking intelligence officials appeared before leader Abdullah Ocalan. It was decided that Abdullah Ocalan, who had applied for asylum, should "leave Greece immediately" before his application was sent to the court. On the same day (October 9), leader Abdullah Ocalan left on a private plane arranged by the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs, heading to Moscow.

On October 9, 1998, leader Abdullah Ocalan, who went to Russia, announced that he was received by Nauman Uçar and Russian security forces, and he said at that time: "I first went to the house of the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, Zhirinovsky, then I went to his mountain house, and I submitted a political asylum request to the officers with me."

On October 11, 1998: After leader Abdullah Ocalan left Syria, Ankara obtained intelligence information regarding his whereabouts. On that day, Turkey's then Deputy Prime Minister Mesut Yılmaz held a press conference and said, "Today we learned that Ocalan is in Russia." In this context, leader Abdullah Ocalan applied for political asylum in the Duma, the building of the Russian parliament.

On November 4, 1998: The Duma approved the political asylum request for leader Abdullah Ocalan with 298 votes. The first reaction to this decision came from the United States of America. The spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, James Rubin, stated in his statement: "No one should grant asylum to Abdullah Ocalan."

The Prime Minister of Russia, Primakov, who did not recognize the Duma's decision regarding leader Abdullah Ocalan, gave him 9 days to leave Russia.

The pressures on Italy

On November 12, 1998: Leader Abdullah Ocalan, who left Russia with the mediation of the deputy of the Communist Refoundation Party (PRC) Ramon Mantovani, arrived in the Italian capital, Rome, and was arrested at the airport. After the arrest, Leader Abdullah Ocalan applied for political asylum in Rome.

On November 21, 1998: U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright held extensive talks with then-NATO Secretary General Javier Solana to prevent Abdullah Ocalan from being accepted into any country.

On November 24, 1998: U.S. President Bill Clinton called Italian Prime Minister D'Alema twice and said, "Avoid making a historic mistake!" U.S. State Department spokesman James Rubin also stated, "Ocalan must be handed over to Turkey as soon as possible."

On January 16, 1999: Leader Abdullah Ocalan left Italy heading to Moscow again.

The cross and the preparations of the Ark

On January 17, 1999: Russian security officials told leader Abdullah Ocalan that the government did not want him to stay in Russia, and they said that these instructions came from Primakov.

On January 18, 1999: The Russian ambassador in Ankara, Alexander Lebedev, promised Turkey that "when Ocalan is captured, he will be handed over." Bülent Ecevit confirmed this on the same day through his press statement. Abdullah Ocalan described this operation as "preparations for the cross and the coffin."

On January 20, 1999: The leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, Abdullah Ocalan, was transferred to a house in a village near Bishkek, the capital of Tajikistan. The leader said about it: "This was an enforced relocation. I spent 8 days here in complete isolation."

On January 28, 1999: Commander Abdullah Ocalan was transferred to Moscow by plane. Here, Leader Abdullah Ocalan was threatened by Russian special units and was asked to go to Damascus. However, the leader refused this offer due to the seriousness of the situation and informed Admiral Nakzakis that his life was in danger.

On January 29, 1999: Leader Abdullah Ocalan, who was transported on a private plane brought by retired General Naxakis, landed directly for the second time in Athens, where he was suspicious of the offers from Russian officials and did not go to Bucharest

On January 30, 1999: Greek Foreign Minister Theodoros Pangalos said, "Welcome to our country. We want to have talks with you. The necessary legal procedures will be carried out. There will be no preferential treatment. In this regard, we want to discuss your situation constructively." Leader Abdullah Ocalan agreed to the meeting, and instead of Pangalos, he met again with Staffarakis and Kalentiridis.

Oil agreements in Davos

On January 30, 1999: At the World Economic Forum meeting held in Davos, the situation of leader Abdullah Ocalan was discussed between Russian Prime Minister Primakov and American oil companies. In the Russian economic newspaper "Kommersant," an article titled "Oil Marketing for APO" was published, indicating that under this agreement, Kazakh oil would be transported through Russia, and Azerbaijani oil would be distributed through Turkey.

On January 31, 1999: With the mediation of Greece, a plane landed at Minsk Airport. On the day Abdullah Ocalan landed at Minsk Airport, a secret decision was made in Switzerland, and based on this decision, all international airports in Europe issued a joint resolution prohibiting any plane carrying Abdullah Ocalan from landing on their runways.

On February 1, 1999: Pangalos called the U.S. Ambassador to Athens, Nicholas Burns, and informed him that leader Abdullah Ocalan was being held in isolation on the island of Corfu, which is in Greece. Subsequently, leader Abdullah Ocalan was given guarantees that he would be sent to South Africa.

February 2, 1999: At 05:30 AM, instead of going to South Africa, Leader Abdullah Ocalan left Corfu Airport on a private plane, as the U.S. Ambassador in Athens, Nicholas Burns, requested Simitis and Pangalos to send him to Kenya. This secret plane, said to have come from Switzerland and likely prepared by "NATO's Gladio" or the "CIA," landed at Nairobi Airport on February 2, 1999, at 11:00 AM. The Greek Ambassador to Kenya, Kostoulas, received Leader Abdullah Ocalan, and his passage through customs was facilitated by the ambassador.

Meeting of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Turkish Intelligence (MIT)

February 4, 1999: In the evening, a member of the CIA requested a meeting with the Turkish intelligence advisor (MIT), Şenkal Atasagun, regarding a specific case. Three Americans, including the CIA station chief and two counter-terrorism experts, went to Atasagun's house and offered the Turkish officials support and a joint operation based on President Clinton's orders to capture leader Abdullah Ocalan, and Turkey agreed to this offer.

At the same time, Turkish Prime Minister Bülent Ecevit said after the abduction of leader Abdullah Ocalan in his statement to journalist Sedat Ergin: "On February 4, we received news that Ocalan could be captured from Africa. Accordingly, this mechanism was activated." Turkish President Süleyman Demirel also held a major meeting that night at the Çankaya Palace.

Reconstruction of Imrali Prison

On the same day, the almost abandoned Imrali prison was evacuated and handed over to the general command. The surrounding area of the island was declared a military zone, and the Imrali prison was rebuilt under the name "Renewal" to house only one prisoner.

The period between February 4 – 15, 1999: Leader Abdullah Ocalan was under great pressure to leave the Kostolac house in Kenya. A passport was not issued to leader Abdullah Ocalan, and although he was told he would leave on February 12, that did not happen. The leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party, Abdullah Ocalan, described this as "forced deportation."

A Turkish plane lands in Uganda.

On February 8, 1999: Ambassador Kostoulas sent his deputy, Georgios Diokovotakis, at the request of Katurim, the Secretary-General of the Kenyan Directorate of Foreign Affairs. The Turkish security director, Necati Bilkan, explained in a statement to "Der Spiegel" that "Abdullah Öcalan is being tracked step by step," and said, "We will capture him."

On February 10, 1999: The Turkish plane that took off from Istanbul landed at "Entebbe" Airport in Uganda at 16:00. It turned out that this plane, designed by the Frenchman Marcel Dassault, was owned by the Turkish businessman Cavit Çağlar. The team of 9 members headed to Kampala, the capital of Uganda adjacent to Kenya, and stayed at the "Victoria Lake" hotel in Entebbe for 5 days waiting for news from Kenya.

On the same day (February 10, 1999), Ambassador Kostulas and businessman Georgios Panous arrived at the Kenyan embassy building and attempted, under the name "Seychelles Plan," to extract leader Abdullah Ocalan from the embassy again.
