Mehmet Ali Agca, Pope John Paul’s would-be assassin due to be released from prison on Monday, has answered a set of questions put to him by Reuters through his lawyers. Earlier on Wednesday, his lawyers issued a hand-written letter to journalists in which he called for a new “American Empire.” Our later news story on his answers to our questions highlights his stated desire to visit the late pope’s tomb in Saint Peter’s Basilica. The statement went on to call on Pope Benedict to announce the end of the world and say he would prove he was “Agca the Messiah” and would write the “perfect Bible.” Agca’s answers are rambling and bizarre. Since we’re bound to hear more from him when he’s released, here’s the complete text of the Q&A to give a fuller view of his current thinking. The Reuters bureau in Istanbul translated it from the original Turkish.

1. How are you feeling after your many years in prison?

“For around thirty years I have been staying in cells on my own. I experienced hell on earth. But in spite of everything I am well. I feel good in myself both physically and psychologically.”

2. Have your beliefs changed during your time in prison and what have you learned from your experience?

“I have read at least a thousand books, most of them scientific, during my time in prison. I have experienced great change and development as a result of a synthesis of experience and knowledge. I have understood world history. I have understand the nature of humanity.

But I have not understood this at all: How can it be that billions of people can believe that one person can hold a third of the millions of galaxies in his hand, even if he is the MESSIAH. The TRINITY says that space billions of light years away is in the hands of the MESSIAH JESUS. Is this possible? Furthermore there is not a word of the TRINTY in either the Old or the New Testaments. If people could have asked these questions would the Monster Nazi mentality have easily come to power and carried out genocide? I promise $1 million to anyone who can point to a single use of the word TRINITY in the BIBLE.”

3. What do you want to do when you leave prison and where do you want to live? Do you want to get married?

“I do not have any thoughts about wanting to do this or that first of all after leaving prison. What I mean is there is nothing that I have really missed strongly. I am a psychology expert. I am trying to be a perfect person through constant self watching, self analysis and self control. I will probably set up home in Istanbul, Turkey. I have not made a firm decision yet on whether to get married.”

4. Have you received book or film deal offers and what sort of book do you plan to write?

“Yes, I have received offers from many countries for many cinema films, television documentaries. I have received book offers. I want to write the PERFECT BIBLE. And I say that the Bible which I write and the Vatican Bible should be studied by the American science academy and the Japanese science academy. If as a result of that, it is not said that Agca’s Bible is not more superior to the Vatican bible, more logical and scientific, my Bible should be cast into the rubbish bin of history. I give my word to the world that within a few years I will prove with concrete historical documents that I am Agca the MESSIAH. The world should wait and see.”

5. Do you plan to meet the current pope and the Vatican and what do you think about him?

“Yes. I want to visit the Vatican and the Pope Ratzinger. I also want to visit the grave of one of the most wonderful and respectable people of the 20th Century, Pope John Paul II. This world, which is experiencing an economic, ecological and human crisis, needs the Vatican. I, Agca, invite the Pope Ratzinger to announce the END OF THE WORLD. It could be beneficial that this divine truth be known by all humanity in order for global crises to be overcome and for a better world order to be established. The top of the Vatican state definitely knows that we have come to the end of the world and I am ready to prove my claim with concrete documents. Don’t forget that it was first I, Agca, who revealed to the world the Vatican’s most secret document FATIMA – THIRD SECRET.”

6. What do you think about the current political situation in Turkey?

“I don’t want to speak about this issue.”

With My Respects,

MESSIAH Mehmet Ali Agca

Question to readers: What do you think about Agca after reading this? Should he get the reported multi-million-dollar book and film deals after his release from prison?
