The Iraqi government has announced that the end of 2011 will witness the evacuation of the MKO camp and expel of its members from Iraq. <\/p>\n
In a press conference held at the Iraq Cabinet building with the presence of the representative of the UN’s Secretary General Mr. Martin Coupler and a number of International Human Rights organizations and ambassadors, the Iraqi Prime Minister’s advisor stated that the Iraqi government will not allow the MKO members to remain in Iraq after 2011. <\/p>\n
During the press conference, the Iraqi Prime Minister’s Advisor stressed that the Iraqi constitution is not permitting such terrorist organization to remain in Iraq. <\/p>\n
The United Nations stated that the Iraqi government is acting according to the International standards and the Iraqi constitution. <\/p>\n
The representative of the UN’s Secretary General said that the United Nation is directly involved in the issue and called for finding a peaceful solution for the MKO issue in Iraq. <\/p>\n
The MKO is listed as a terrorist organization by much of the international community, and is responsible for numerous terrorist acts against both Iranians and Iraqis. <\/p>\n
The group is especially notorious in Iran for siding with former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war. <\/p>\n
