Members of the MKO aka MEK/PMOI group were entered Iraqi soil illegally, so they have no choice but to obey the law, says the leadership of the coalition of state law and member of the Iraqi parliamentary Security and Defense Commission.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and the UN Secretary-General’s Representative in Iraq Martin Kobler agreed to put an end to the dossier of MKO..The presence of the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO, also known as the MEK, NCR and PMOI) in Iraq has become a bone of contention in the ties between Iraq and the US..
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and the Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Iraq Martin Kobler agreed to close the file on the Mojahedin Khalq organisation aka MKO/MEK/PMOI and move them accordance with established deadlines. The statement said …
“It is past time for the MeK to recognize that Ashraf is not going to remain an MeK base in Iraq,” said Ambassador Daniel Benjamin, State Department coordinator for counter-terrorism, on the call. “The Iraqi Government is committed to closing it, and any plan to wait out the government in the hope that something will change is irresponsible and dangerous.”

He also referred to MKO terrorist group, saying,”As we know Iraqi government is determined to transfer and expel the group from the country and Camp Ashraf.”Iranian official noted two thirds of the group have been transferred to Camp Liberty, a placement for their transfer to other countries, and the rest would be transferred soon…
The official believes that two probable reasons may have led the MKO to slow down its cooperation with the UN and the Iraq Government. “…there are two issues that have occurred to us. One, the MEK may have over-interpreted Iraqi politics..the court has not told Secretary Clinton to delist the group and its leaders are “quite plainly, wrong”.
Whatever will be the outcome of the political conflict in Iraq is an internal issue. But one thing is for certain that MKO is gravely mistaken to think that any Iraqi government, be it Maliki’s or another’s, will allow it to remain on Iraqi soil. ..
High-ranking political and security officials of Azerbaijan are well aware of Iran’s high sensitivity to these two terrorist organizations, especially the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization aka MKO/MEK/PMOI and they can easily predict the outlook and consequences of such a measure. Therefore, if the government of Azerbaijan really seeks to reduce tension…
