People like Jon Bolton and Newton Leroy have been attending the meeting for years and supporting terrorists. “It is not a new thing and they have always followed the same policy,” he said after his arrival in the city of Astana for Caspian Sea littoral states summit.

According to ISNA, he also expressed sorrow over Turki al-Faisal’s presence in MKO gathering, saying that he had been creating al-Qaeda and Taliban and has had a notorious role in previous Saudi regime.

He said that al-Faisal’s presence in the meeting show his lack of efficiency and competence of these people.

These people make their future intertwined with terrorists as Saddam did so, Zarif said.

Turki al-Faisal's 30-minute address to the gathering of the Mujahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) in Paris on Saturday showed that a tie-up between the outfit and Takfiri groups might be in the making with the help of the Saudis.
