Tehran, April 12, IRNA – The spokesman for the Foreign Ministry said here Tuesday that Iraq has perfect right to expel members of the terrorist group of Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) from the Camp Ashraf in that country.

Ramin Mehmanparast made the remarks at his weekly news conference, adding the MKO are accused of carrying out not only crimes and 12,000 assassinations in Iran, but also criminal offences against the Iraqi nation.

On regional developments and the question of some Iranain diplomats expelled from Kuwait, Mehmanparast said those who are sowing discord among the regional Islamic nations are to take full advantage of these events to benefit the US and the Zionist regime.
