In an interview with Radio SAWA, Dr. Saleh Mutlaq, head of the Iraqi National Dialogue Front, regarded Ahmadinehad’s trip to Iraq an insult to Iraqis’ feelings and said: This visit is an insult to the feelings of the Iraqi people.

Mutlaq said: “There is a negative widespread response from the Iraqi people to the Iranian regime and its role in provoking the sectarian sedition and disintegrating the united front of the people. If the Iraqi people are given the opportunity to express their views properly you would see millions of Iraqis would go into the streets to say no to this visit.”

There are many differences with the Iranian regime; there are many violations of law by that regime in Iraq, there are death squads who are living in Iran and kill Iraqis and they are still preparing themselves to come and kill Iraqis again”, added Saleh Mutlaq.
