A high ranking official of Iraq’s Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party harshly criticized Saudi Arabia over Turki Al- Faisal’s participation in anti-Iran Mujahedin e-Khalq organization’s Paris gathering on July 9.
Calling Faisal’s attendance at MKO’s controversial gathering in Paris a strategic mistake, Molla Bakhtiar, chief of executive Body of PUK political bureau, harshly criticized Saudi Arabia and said: “The move led the Iraqi people to deem Saudi Arabia an enemy state and state sponsor of terrorism,” Iraqi news website Alrafedin reported.
The Kurdish Iraqi official included: “MKO is an armed terrorist group comprised of a number of Iranian dissidents that has a black record of conducting crimes against Iraqi nation and the Kurdish people.”
He also added: “I demand Saudi officials to formally apologize Iraqi people and stop supporting the terrorist group. We acknowledge no difference between the ISIS and the MKO; They are two sides of the same coin and there is no excuse for supporting them.”
Known as a cult with a long record of terrorist activities, the MKO held its annual anti-Iran gathering in Paris on July 9, attended by cult members and a number of former officials from the U.S. and some Arab countries including Saudi Prince, Turki Al-Faisal. Former Saudi intelligence chief’s support of a terrorist group and his remarks in their gathering calling for the ‘overthrow of Iranian government’ made some controversies over the past few days.

He called the meeting “support for terrorism” and said that it will neither weaken Israel nor liberate Jerusalem. Hossein Sheikholeslam, an adviser for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, said that the MEK is supported by the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia and called Abbas a “puppet of America.”
decision making process is completely dictated by the leaders of the group. Thus, their unconditional devotion to Massoud and Maryam Rajavi does not seem bizarre. What can collapse the bars that extremist and cultist leaders build around their followers?
children to ISIS or other terrorist groups have noticed something changing about their child, but were mostly alone without any outside help”, he writes.
that will trigger an emotional response in their authentic self. All control over them will evaporate and they will never come back.”
