Argentina renews Falklands claim Britain rejects demand
Today News : Argentine president urged Britain on Thursday to give up control of the Falkland Islands, accusing London of participation in an act of "blatant colonialism", claiming wind archipelago.
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, published an open letter to the Guardian newspaper called on Prime Minister David Cameron in honor of the UN resolutions, which it supports, said her case for the return of the islands, which Argentina calls the Malvinas. She made several similar orders in the past.
"180 years ago, on the same day, January 3, in a blatant exercise of 19th century colonialism, Argentina had been forcibly deprived of the Malvinas Islands, which are 14,000 kilometers (8700 miles) from London," she says in a letter copied to the Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Britain maintained control over the south Atlantic islands, creating a naval garrison in 1833. Britain and Argentina fought a brief war in 1982 after Argentina invaded the islands. More than 900 people were killed, most of them Argentines.
Cameron rejected the demand of the President of Argentina that the islands would be transferred. "The future of the Falkland Islands must be determined by the Falkland Islands, the people who live there," the British prime minister.
