IRAQ: UN ENVOY WELCOMES RELOCATION OF FIRST GROUP OF IRANIAN EXILES TO
ALBANIANew York, May 16 2013 1:00PMThe top United Nations official in
Iraq today called the relocation of 14 Iranians to Albania from an
exile camp near Baghdad, an "encouraging first step."

"The residents' arrival in Albania late last night is an encouraging
first step in the relocation of the group of 210 residents the
Albanian government has agreed to receive," said the UN Special
Representative for the Secretary-General and head of the UN Assistance
Mission in Iraq (UNAMI), Martin Kobler.

More than 3,000 residents, most of them members of a group known as
the People's Mojahedeen of Iran, are temporarily housed in a transit
facility called Camp Liberty – also know as Camp Hurriya – while the
Office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) carries out a
process to determine their refugee status.

Mr. Kobler said that the departure of the group from Iraq is in
accordance with the memorandum of understanding of 25 December 2011,
which foresees the relocation of the residents to third countries. "I
thank the Government of Albania and encourage other Member States to
come forward and to receive residents in their countries as well."

Following the original offer by the Albania Government to assist in
the resettlement, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said he "unequivocally
supports" Mr. Kobler's efforts "to courageously and creatively, in
exceptionally difficult circumstances, help resolve this situation."

In addition, in his recent report about the situation in Iraq, Mr. Ban
urged those who express support for the residents of Camp Hurriya and
the remaining residents of another camp, New Iraq, to stop spreading
insults and falsehoods about Mr. Kobler and instead help to promote a
durable solution.

Following Albania's announcement, the Government of Germany offered
humanitarian admission for approximately 100 residents of the camp.May
