Iranian Resistance Calls for Closure of Mullahs' Embassy, Expulsion of Diplomats from Turkey

The leader of a terrorist fundamentalist group, arrested last week by the Turkish police, was trained for terrorist operations by the Khomeini regime, the Turkish press cited country officials as saying. They further reported that to murder a Turkish anti-fundamentalist writer, the terrorist leader had received his weapon from the mullahs' embassy in Ankara.

This is the same group which helped the Khomeini regime's Intelligence Ministry agents in Istanbul in the June 1992 kidnapping of Ali Akbar Ghorbani, a member of the Mojahedin. Mr. Ghorbani's mutilated body was later found in January 1993 somewhere near Istanbul. His fingernails had been pulled out, and his nose and genitals cut.

In light of the role of the arrested terrorist in the kidnapping and murder of Mr. Ghorbani, the Iranian Resistance calls for a thorough investigation of this murder and demands that Mr. Ghorbani's family and the Resistance's representatives be present at his trial.

On February 20, a hit squad sent from Tehran, assassinated Mrs. Zahra Rajabi, an NCR member who had traveled to Turkey to attend to the needs of the Iranian refugees, along with her colleague, Mr. Ali Panah Moradi.

The religious, terrorist dictatorship ruling Iran has turned Turkey into a hunting ground for its terrorist activities and murder of its opponents. It has gone so far as to have safe houses and torture chambers in many cities. Now that the active role of the mullah regime's embassy and diplomats in the assassination of dozens of Iranian opponents and Resistance activists in Turkey has become certain, the Iranian Resistance persistently calls on the Turkish authorities to close down the regime's representation offices in Turkey and expel its terrorist-diplomats from that country.
