Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi says the Ministry has summoned the French ambassador to Iran to protest against the annual gathering of the anti-Iran MKO terrorist cult.<\/p>\n
In a Wednesday statement, Qassemi said the director general of the Iranian Foreign Ministry\u2019s Europe Department summoned French Ambassador Francois Senemaud on Tuesday to express the Islamic Republic\u2019s harsh protest against France for its support for the MKO terrorist group.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe director general also emphasized that no extremist group with terrorist nature \u2013 even if it is trivial or small \u2013 should be provided with an opportunity to promote extremism and terrorism under the pretext of freedom of expression,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
According to the spokesman, during the talks, the Iranian diplomat also expressed the country\u2019s protest over the MKO\u2019s annual gathering in Paris attended by a number of current and former extremist officials of the US as well as their meddlesome and divisive statements against the Iranian nation.<\/p>\n
The French ambassador, for his part, said he would immediately convey Iran\u2019s protest to Paris and give its response to the Iranian Foreign Ministry.<\/p>\n
The MKO held its annual meeting in Paris on Saturday with a number of American hawks such as Rudy Giuliani \u2013 Donald Trump\u2019s personal lawyer \u2013 and other former US officials as well as former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper in attendance.<\/p>\n
Founded in the 1960s, the terror group fled to Iraq in 1986, where it joined Saddam\u2019s army during the Iraqi imposed war on Iran (1980-1988) and helped Saddam kill thousands of Iranian civilians and soldiers during the US-backed war imposed on Iran.<\/p>\n
