சிறீலங்காவில் போர் நிறுத்த ஒப்பந்தம் என்று ஒன்றில்லை. இருப்பது சர்வதேசத்தை ஏய்க செய்யப்பட்ட பத்திரப்பரிமாற்றமே என்று தமது பக்க உண்மைகளைக் கொட்டியுள்ளார் கோத்தபாய..!

‘There is no ceasefire agreement with LTTE’ - Gotabhaya

[TamilNet, Thursday, 12 April 2007, 17:02 GMT]

There is no ceasefire between the Liberation Tigers and the Sri Lankan government and the 2002 agreement was only being left in place to satisfy the international community, Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse said Tuesday.

"There is no cease-fire agreement. There is no meaning in that," said Rajapakse, who is the brother and a close-confidant of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapakse, told the Associated Press.

The 2002 Ceasefire Agreement (CFA) halted the decades long fighting. But over the last two years the truce has unravelled as a simmering ‘shadow war’ erupted into open confrontations last year.

At least 4000 people have been killed since December 2005 in direct attacks and a ‘dirty war’ of abductions, ‘disappearances’ and vicious extra-judicial killings.

Yet even as violence has escalated, both sides have repeatedly insisted they are respecting the cease-fire, which is viewed by major donor nations — primarily the United States and European countries — as an important tool that keeps the entire peace process from collapsing.

"Officially we have not said there is no cease-fire agreement, probably to keep the international community happy," Rajapakse said.

The Defence Secretary said the Sri Lankan military must build on the victories it has scored against the Tamil Tigers in the east over recent months and press on toward LTTE strongholds in the north.

As expected, Rajapakse squarely blamed the Tigers for the unofficial collapse of the cease-fire.

The Tigers were "breaking it from the very beginning," he said, "starting ambushes and (land mines) and all those things so then the military has to react."
