LTTE hints of Oslo ultimatum

The tiger guerrilla delegation’s visit for Oslo talks next week is to tell the international community for the last time that the Government has not fulfilled its assurances, according to S. Pulithevan, Head of the LTTE Peace Secretariat.

“In spite of having had six rounds of talks with the Sri Lanka governments and one in Geneva none of the assurances accepted by the government has been fulfilled, and it does not have the mental setup to do so. We are going to Oslo to tell the international community for the last time,” Mr. Pulithevan told an LTTE Tamil web site.

The LTTE going to Oslo would be an effort to tell the international community that no solution is possible until such time the international community enforces severe pressure on the Sri Lanka Government to arrive at a settlement, he said.

Mr. Pulithevan also said setting up of committees and having conferences had been going on in Southern Sri Lanka throughout the years. But none of them produced any results. Similarly the non-inclusion of the representatives of the Tamils in the two committees that were being appointed by President Mahinda Rajapaksa was not going to produce any benefits. At the same time, it is clear that southern Sri Lanka and Tamil Eelam have been polarized, he said.
