Her last breath left on Tuesday (01.07.2025) after an unequal battle with cancer The renowned journalist Herowhich had given her latest television interview to Manos Niflis last February, revealing unknown details of her life.
Iro Kariofyllis had been on the “Moments” show by Manos Niflis on One Channel on Monday, February 24, 2025 and had been referred to her childhood, her choice to become a journalist, the crime that had shocked her life and the decision not to become a mother.
“I was a very closed kid. My mom used to say that they didn’t hear my voice and that I was like a sheep. In my teens, things changed great and things came. From 13 years old I decided that I wanted to do this job and never changed their minds since then, “he said initially.
“My mom was a pillar in our house,” she had even added, she added that she and her brother were urging her brother to read a newspaper every day.
Also, Iro Kariofyllis had talked about the crime she had marked, which was no other than the murder of little Annie.
“I haven’t forgotten it yet. Due to honor, although it has been a decade, it is not a month, without thinking about the little girl, little Annie, who was staying with his parents from Bulgaria in downtown Athens, and his father has not yet said how he killed it. If you remember, it cut it and threw it in the trash, “the well -known journalist said.
“I will not forget that we went to GAD that day and they were all in a bad psychological state. I cried, cried, cried … Do you know what still hurts my soul for this child? Whether it hurt before it died, “Iro Kariofili had added.
“All of us who have done this report, but also others who have gone to wars, we have seen a lot of death and always violent death. The first time I saw a corpse I was scared, the second was upset, I cried on the third. At some point you stop, it doesn’t. Otherwise I should have been in the psychiatric clinic, both me and you and all of us. But I see now that I am growing up that things have come again and emotionally hurts a lot, “Iro Kariofilis had later said.
Also, Iro Kariofyllis had mentioned her decision not to have children, consciously.
“I didn’t have children and I mention it because I didn’t do it consciously, because even today I think it’s the biggest of the responsibilities. I don’t know if I could cope. Now as I grow older I say, “Okay my child, I would do it”. Neither manual has, nor has anyone graduated. I respect their parents very much, I justify them very much for the mistakes they make, as long as they are not criminal at the expense of the children, “he had confessed.
“Adoption is a terrible thing, it proves empathy, solidarity, unmistakable love. Choose a child, among many, to feel his chemistry, to choose you, to pull the force to grow it without knowing what he carries inside. It’s a responsibility I couldn’t get. I thought it was a responsibility I can’t get, I see it because I may not have children but I have my niece, who is 16 years old. Ever since she was born there is no day when I don’t think if she’s crying, if anyone was troubled at school, if she didn’t write well, if she was stressed, “she had said in the same interview.
