The delegation had included the Head of European Mission in Iraq, Mr. Patrick Simone and the European delegate, Mr. Yan Figel, who were accompanied with the Head of Interior Relation Division.
Mr. Yan Figel had explained his opinions about the Holy Shrine and said, "It is impressive place. This place does not motivate the religious aspect in man but it sheds light on historical, heritage and cultural aspects. Imam Ali Holy Shrine is not for Islam and Muslims, but it is for all humanity."
