Nov 29, Colombo: The United States yesterday condemned the LTTE for demanding an independent state.
State Department spokesperson Sean McCormack told media in Washington, “We condemn the Tamil Tigers for fueling violence and hostility. Violence and terrorism do nothing to advance the resolution of the conflict.
“The 2002 ceasefire agreement is the foundation on which both the government of Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tigers can find mutual understanding and build sustainable peace,” he added.
“We're pressing both sides, the government as well as the Tigers, to honor the ceasefire agreement and return to a dialogue that will move the nation toward peace,” the spokesperson said.
“The Tigers can choose to return to the peace process and should do so for the benefit of the Sri Lankan people,” he continued.LTTE leader Velupillai Prabhakaran on Monday said the Tigers have no option but an independent state. City Bank Card, Chase low rate loan, American Express
