Iraq's Justice and Accountability Commission Head, Ahmed Chalabi伊拉克的司法與問責委員會負責人艾哈邁德沙拉比
A senior Iraqi official says Washington and Riyadh are supporting the return of former Baath party members to power in a bid to counter what they call Iran's influence in the country.
一名伊拉克高級官員說，華盛頓和利雅得正支持前阿拉伯復興社會黨成員返回權力，以對付他們所說的在該國的伊朗影響力。
Iraq's Justice and Accountability Commission head, Ahmed Chalabi, told Press TV that what motivates the United States and Saudi Arabia to back the return of Baathists to power is "their continuing conflict with Iran."
伊拉克的司法與問責委員會主席艾哈邁德沙拉比，告訴Press TV什麼是美國和沙特阿拉伯的動機去支持復興黨重回政權，是“他們與伊朗的持續衝突。”
"They think that the presence of Baathists in the parliament of Iraq would be an important card in their hands to stop the so-called spreading influence of Iran in Iraq."
“他們認為伊拉克議會有復興黨的存在，將會是他們手裏的一張重要的卡，以阻止所謂的伊朗在伊拉克的擴散影響。”
Chalabi went on to compare former dictator Saddam Hussein's Baath party to the Nazi party in Germany, saying "the Baath party in Iraq is a totalitarian racist party."
沙拉比續比較了前獨裁者薩達姆侯賽因的復興社會黨和德國的納粹黨，稱“在伊拉克的復興社會黨是一個極權主義的種族主義政黨。”
"They practiced genocide and killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and promoted war just like the Nazi party in Germany," said Chalabi.
“他們實行大屠殺，殺害數以十萬計的伊拉克人和像德國納粹黨般推動戰爭”沙拉比說。
"The crimes they committed in Iraq are comparable to the crimes that were committed by the Nazi party," he added.
His remarks follow a decision by an appellate court to ban 145 candidates from participating in parliamentary elections, expected on March 7, over ties to former Baath party.
The appeals panel reinstated only 26 of the 171 candidates, who appealed their disqualification last month by a parliamentary body, known as the Accountability and Justice Commission.
The committee barred 500 candidates from participation in election over 'ties Saddam Hussein's political and military apparatus.'
Amid the dispute last month, US Vice President Joe Biden paid a visit to Baghdad. His visit was aimed at persuading Iraqi officials to reverse the ban on candidates with alleged links to the Baath party, according to Chalabi.
He said the US attempts to reverse the ban made no headway with the Iraqi leadership.
