NCRI – A leading political figure in Iraq has vehemently condemned a brutal attack on residents of Camp Ashraf on Friday, saying the killing of the unarmed residents by Nouri al-Maliki\u2019s forces only served the interests and agenda of the Iranian regime.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a statement, Dr. Zafer al-Ani, the Secretary General of the Iraq National Future and a leading figure in Iraqiya, said, \u201cSending the army on behalf of the Iranian regime to create fabricated stories to initiate clashes taints the honor of the Iraqi army.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is also a \u201cviolation of the Iraqi constitution,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause the Iraqi army is misused to do something outside its responsibilities as mandated by the constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. al-Ani added, the Iraqi army is being used to occupy Camp Ashraf, the residence of the main Iranian opposition People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK).<\/p>\n
\u201cSending the army to such conflicts is offensive to the Iraqi people and does nothing but serve the agenda and interests of Tehran. It is a reward given to the aggressor, which is the Iranian regime.\u201d The regime is continuing \u201cits aggressive policies against the Iraqi people,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He said the attack on Ashraf, in addition to a military siege and massacre of defenseless refugees, \u201cviolates international laws and runs counter to the most fundamental values and ethics of the Iraqi people who emphasize respect for their guests.\u201d<\/p>\n
The residents of Ashraf are \u201cthe Iraqi people\u2019s friends and have never harmed them,\u201d he added. \u201cThey have a clear national stance against the religious tyranny ruling Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
