| Argentina pulls out of Falklands talks |
| 2013-02-01 |
Hector Timerman Argie FM has refused to meet representatives of the Falkland Islands government, which Argentina does not recognise as legitimate. i.e.: the Argies know the island's citizens don't want any part of the corrupt broke chavismo from Evita and cronies The islanders were expected to tell Mr Timerman that Buenos Aires should respect islanders' rights and leave them in peace. yup Mr Timerman had initially asked for a one-to-one meeting with Mr Hague. In words bound to raise tensions between the UK and Argentina over the issue Mr Timerman said he was sorry that Mr Hague "can't meet without the supervision of the colonists from the Malvinas". Obama: "or Maldives!" He said that the United Nations regards the dispute over the islands which Argentina knows as the Malvinas as a bilateral issue between Buenos Aires and London. Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has in recent years strongly asserted her country's demands for the Falklands to come under its sovereignty despite the opposition of the islanders. talk about colonialism Earlier this month, she had an advert published in British newspapers claiming that Argentina had been stripped of the islands in "a blatant exercise of 19th century colonialism". David Cameron has repeatedly insisted the residents of the Falklands must decide their own future and a referendum on the islands' political status is to be held in March. |
