Back to peace talks, a possibility - Bogollagama

The Government is positive that the Co-Chairs, which will meet in Oslo on June 25-26, would encourage the LTTE to come to the peace process or to a negotiated settlement, the Foreign Affairs Minister Rohitha Bogollagama said.

In an interview with the 'Sunday Observer' Minister Bogollagama, while reiterating that the LTTE has close links with the Afghan terrorists, said that the government expects a very realistic approach towards bringing the LTTE back to peace talks.

"As a Government we have to look at the national security concerns, that of the security of our people and the need for us to combat terrorism. I am sure that the Co-Chairs had been very co-operative and supportive and they will extend special support at this Olso Summit", he said.
