NCR condemns Turkey's cooperation with mullahs against Iranian refugees

According to the Reuters, Ali Akbar Velayati announced an agreement with Turkey to prevent cross-border movements of opposition groups and that simultaneous operations had already begun against opposition groups in the border area.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran condemns this accord and views it as a prelude to more criminal actions against Iranian refugees in Turkey. The NCR holds the government of Turkey responsible for guaranteeing the safety and security of the Iranian refugees residing in that country and considers the signing of such accord as a violation of the sacred right to asylum.

In the past years, using diplomatic facilities and directly guided by the mullahs' embassy in Turkey, the Tehran regime's hit squads have assassinated or abducted and murdered after brutal torture scores of Iranian dissidents and asylum-seekers. Also, the regime's exported terrorists have killed a number of Turkish intellectuals, journalists and writers.

The Iranian Resistance draws attention to the deplorable plight of Iranian refugees in Turkey and appeals to human rights organizations and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees to facilitate and expedite the transfer of the Iranian refugees to other countries and rescue them from the clutches of the mullahs' terrorists.
