In an interview with the Jordanian newspaper Al-Arab Al-Yom, October 13, 2011, the leader of Iraq’s National Movement, Dr. Ayad Allawi, supported EU’s Catherine Ashton decision to designate a Special Ambassador to Camp Ashraf and added that not only Camp Ashraf but the entire Iraq would benefit from permanent observers to monitor its worsening human rights.

Dr. Ayad Allawi commented on his decision to not to take over Iraq’s National Strategic Council and to depart from Al-Maliki’s government and added: the political course  in Iraq is on a very dangerous and wrong path and the US silence’s vis-a-a Iran meddling in Iraq,  and the sectarian conflicts and influences on political decisions has created a dangerous precedence.
 The Constitution is ignored and the government is run by a coalition that was formed after the elections and has the Iranian regime approval, said Allawi.

He further added:  Iraq is in a middle of major crises and is on a path with no prospective to normalcy. Our brothers and sisters in Iraq’s National Movement coalition realize that they have no role in the government. What I observe is a growing totalitarian and I do not want to be a part of that lie and deception.
