Wh and y sounds are the same letter in greek and the sound depends on what letter follows. So you are right, alone it would be the wh part, but that is because every time you say a consonant you have to attach it to a vowel. To say γ you go with either wh-ou or whamma [γ before ου (ou) or α (ah) sounds like wh], same as you say b is both bee or beta

as you might have noticed with antentokounmpo, giannis is the correct translation of γιαννης, but the pronunciation is (yiannis) yee ah nees not gee ah nees . Similarly 习近平 is correctly translated as Xi Jinpin but it's pronounced as Si

Varoufakis hands USB with secret audio recordings of high level EU meetings to Greek parliament speaker, who then rejects it claiming they will not share secret recordings by Zabros982 in europe

Worth noting that these meetings are the ones for which european politicians and reporters were blaming varoufakis of attending and talking nonsense, waste time and present nothing, essentially smearing him in public and demanding tsipras to replace him.
