Iran denounces Europe`s removing of MKO from its black list
Tehran, Jan 27, IRNA - IRI Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a communiqué issued here Monday night denounced EU?s removing of Iranian terrorist grouplet, MKO, from its black list, calling the move ?devoid of credibility.
According to Information and Media Office of the Foreign Ministry, it is said in the communiqué that the move made by the EU Council of
Ministers is contradictory with the international laws and rights, as well as that council?s commitments towards international
anti-terrorism treaties, such as the UN Resolution 1373.
It adds, ?The name of that terrorist grouplet, whose hands are stained with the shed blood of more than thousands of Iranian and foreign innocent citizens, is now deleted from the EU list of terrorist groups, which is an invalid move, fully devoid of credibility, and denounced.?
The Iranian Foreign Ministry further elaborates, ?The EU?s move in
this respect takes place under such conditions that the above
mentioned terrorist grouplet has not changed its tribalist,
militarist, and aggressive ideology, even the slightest bit, and its
terrorist leaders and elements, with the same mentalities, remain
unchanged.?
The communiqué emphasizes, ?This grouplet has never officially
announced abandoning of its armed policy, nor the abandoning of its
terrorist methods, and has never denied having made those terrorist
moves, including a wide range of criminal acts against the Iranian and
Iraqi nations and cooperation with Saddam?s regime. Thus, the EU?s
move in this respect is also in direct contradiction with the
international conventions and regulations.?
It reminds the EU that the MKO is a most hated grouplet among both the
Iranian and the Iraqi nations, and suffers from total unpopularity in
these two countries, while the EU, too, is blamed for its biased stand
taking in favor of the occupier regime of Holy Qods, that is itself a
state sponsor of terrorism, with hand soaked in Gaza children?s blood.
According to the communiqué, the politically motivated, unacceptable
move of the EU takes place under such conditions that the law suits
against that goruplet, including collecting money for funding
terrorist moves, money laundering, and planning for terrorist
operations by MKO elements are still open at European courts,
including those in France.
It argues that the move shows how weak the reasoning of the EU has
been in attributing its decision to a former verdict issued by a
preliminary European court, which was itself issued in the shade of a
British court, both of which lack prompt legal bases and rational
backgrounds, to an extent that various European officials have
formally voiced their objection against its issuance and stressed that
the MKO is beyond doubt a terrorist organization.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry has expressed regret that the EU has thus
parted its way from the global society in campaign against terrorism
and extended a hand for friendship and cooperation with the
experienced terrorists, which is why the Islamic Republic of Iran no
longer recognizes the EU a legitimate, or a competent partner in
campaign against terrorism.
The communiqué has expressed certainty that the move would meanwhile
encourage the other terrorists within Europe to move freely there and
threaten the personal and social security of the European citizens in
order to materialize their illegitimate, terrorist objectives.
