He said that all common laws, Islamic, Arabic, international, and United Nations principles permit the acceptance of the political refugees. The PMOI as a political movement is partly in Iraq with limitations in their activities, another part in Iran, and a part in all over the world, he said.
Ayad Allawi added: sending off or deporting Mojahedin has no place in Iraqi values or principles. The Iraqi government must have the courage to talk with Iran about the matter and demand that Iranian regime should not interfere in Iraq’s internal affairs.
Al-Zaman added: former prime minister said that statements made by Ahmadinejad to fill Iraq’s security vacuum is a worrisome and dangerous proposition and also expressed concern over Maliki’s government holding back from any reply or reaction to such statement made.
Ayad Allawi said: such statements are clear indication of Ahmadinejad’s evil intentions toward Iraq, and what is even more disturbing is that he considered all who show opposition to Iraq’s prime minister as corrupt and seditious.
