UK says Argentina's position over Malvinas is 'unsustainable' [View all]

[naaman fletcher]

"The United Kingdom government's position will remain that there will not and cannot be any discussions on the sovereignty of the Falklands (Malvinas) Islands unless and until the islanders so wish," British amabassador to the United Nations Mark Lyall Grant said and warned that inhabitants’ views “are now unequivocally on the record and should be respected by all."

Buenos Aires has rejected the referendum held earlier in March when British citizens who live in the resource-rich archipelago ratified their decision to remain a British overseas territory. Argentine president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner publicly called the voting process a “consortium of squatters” as the South American government considers the Islands have been illegally occupied by the UK in 1833.

I'd love to track down some indigenous Argentinians (there aren't many. The European Colonialists that founded Argentina murdered most of them). I'm sure they would call CFK and modern Argentina a "consortium of squatters" as well.
