“We also told the Americans explicitly that the problems of Iraqi people will increase if the US continues its occupation of Iraq.””Our main reason for taking part in the negotiation was supporting the government of Prime Minister al-Maliki in Iraq and we are ready to offer any kind of assistance to Iraq Government to increase its ability in running the country,”Ambassador Kazemi said.
A senior Iraqi prosecutor has said there is evidence to suggest the terrorist Mujahedin Khalq Organization is involved in the ongoing violence in Iraq. “The Iraqi Supreme Criminal Court has been provided with documents on the Mujahedin Khalq Organization’s (MKO) crimes against the people in southern Iraq and the people of Tuz Khormato in the south of Kirkuk,”
According to Buratha news, Iranian ambassador to Iraq Hassan Kazemi Qomi, who headed the Iranian delegation in Iran-US talks on Iraq, answered questions of reporters in a press conference after meeting his American counterpart; in response to a question on MKO, he said:”We didn’t talk about this top in this session but it’s on our agenda for future meetings.”
Diplomats from Iran and the United States are scheduled to meet in Baghdad on May 28 to discuss the deteriorating security situation in Iraq. It is the first time since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that officials from Iran and the U.S. will be meeting face to face. Even though Iranian and U.S. officials have stated that the security situation in Iraq is the only topic on the agenda of the talks
Iranian opposition group Mojahedin-e Khalq had close ties with former regime’s security and military services because they had common goals, and therefore it was strongly involved in suppressing the uprising of people after 1991 invasion to Kuwait. Following the ouster of Saddam regime, the elements of this group were protected by US soldiers; American’s put the MKO members in one of its camps in Diala province.
The MKO were also supported by several western countries while launching their terrorist attacks inside and outside of Iran. “These double standards are at odds with the UN resolutions. The best way to ensure we are on the right path is to take all the measures to combat terrorism in the UN paradigm,”Soltanieh said.
The statement said that SIIC wished to stress the independence of its political decision and that its new platform is not directed “against” anyone. The statement stressed that SIIC would continue to reject the presence of any foreign terrorist groups in Iraq – a reference to the Iranian Mujahideen e-Khalq opposition group – and to respect the independence and sovereignty of neighboring countries.
A number of supporters of terrorist organization of Mojahedin-e Khalq who waved the flags of Israel protested to the visit of Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki to Norway. According to IRNA, around 50 MKO members and supporters who held and waved the flags of Zionist regime shouted slogans to protest …
MEK is also active under a variety of other pseudonyms known as MKO; Mujahedin-e Khalq; Muslim Iranian Students’ Society; National Council of Resistance; National Council of Resistance (NCR); Organization of the People’s Holy Warriors of Iran; The National Liberation Army of Iran (NLA); The People’s Mujahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI); National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI); Sazeman-e Mujahedin-e Khalq-e Iran.
