Iran/Argentina agreement to Congress but Jewish community reject contents demand a new one
Argentine President Cristina Fernández announced she would send to Congress the recent agreement reached between Argentina and Iran in order to investigate the AMIA bombing in 1994, and assured that “the Argentine Justice will not be obstructed.”
“This agreement will help us move forward with this case and walk along the road to finding the truth,” she expressed in a pre-recorded message from the presidential office in the Government House.
However the agreement has become controversial from the moment the AMIA organization, contrary to when it was first officially announced, has rejected the deal, which includes the creation of an independent international ‘truth commission’, and is demanding the redrafting of a new accord.
Cristina Fernandez added that the accord, drafted by a committee of international legal experts, “is legally non-binding” and added that “the Argentine Justice will not be obstructed. We are not giving up our sovereignty.”
“This is a very important step in a case in which we had no chance of interrogating those we accused of taking part” in the terrorist attack, she explained. Before closing, she stressed that “Congress has the last word” on the agreement.
“It will be sent to Congress so it can be analyzed” and lawmakers can decide “whether it should be passed or not,” warning that “they are all obligated to take a stand on this matter.”
“I want to spare the families of the victims from the pain, and this country from the shame, and fundamentally find the road to move forward with a case that not only has been paralyzed for 19 years, it has also been moving backwards,” the President explained.
She concluded her 40-minute message by assuring that she is greatly committed to the AMIA cause.
The AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires was bombed by terrorists in 1994 leaving 85 people dead and hundreds injured. The case has remained unsolved ever since.
But AMIA president Guillermo Borger confirmed rejection of the deal which was also seriously questioned by Israel and the United States, particularly those chapters referred to the questioning of Iranian officials allegedly involved directly or indirectly in Argentina’s bloodiest terrorist attack.
“We need to re-draft the document, we need a new one, even when it takes time” insisted Borger who described the current deal as untimely and done without consulting the Jewish organizations, victims of the attacks.
“Iran is theocratic, unreliable, can’t be trusted, fundamentalist and denies the Holocaust. My mother has the concentration camp number stamped in her arm, so they can’t tell me the holocaust never existed. We do not accept Iran as a partner to trust, and much less when it comes to signing deals”, added Borger.

“At last the truth” *pats self on back*
Sherlock Holmes has nothing on these super sleuths.
“Under intense political pressure imposed by the US and Israel, Argentina had formally accused Iran of having carried out the bombing attack”

Just like the native Amerindians are an inconvenience when she wants their land, or the unions are an inconvenience when they refuse to blindly believe all the nonsense she spouts. Just like the Constitution is an inconvenience when it won't allow her to do just what she wants to do.
And like all these inconveniences she just ignores them, and does what she wants anyway.
But carry on CFK, cosy up to Iran. Isolate Argentina from the sensible world.
You have just committed suicide for your country, as no one will lend you money, no one will trade 'desirable' items with you - in case you trade them with Iran.
Poor Argentina, and I mean POOR; no money, no friends, no future.
Still, if they are in the way of Nazi-style ambitions they will become non-people, like the Falkland Islanders and lumped into Timerman's 'Final Solution' he was bragging about yesterday.
Just when you think it would not be possible for this man to come out with anything more crass and stupid, he resurrects these two words.
What is more. he uses them in the right context. The means to an end of a territorial dispute.
He is not just inept, he is criminally inept.
I suppose we should be thankful for him really. Those two words are now going to be increasingly quoted and attributed to him in the coming discussions on the Islands.
screw the argentine jewish population they are only your people, this is business.....missile technology for wheat!
North korea...Iran...??Argentina??
birds of a feather - spot the common link (Lack of H---n R----s)
SELF-DETERMINATION.
If argieland had any affinity with “truth”, it wouldn't tell so many lies about the Falkland Islands. And if it had any concept of “justice”, it wouldn't be plotting to dispossess the Islanders and steal everything they own. But that's argies! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viveza_criolla
Oh Tobias, showing off your ignorance again?
Well you seem to have missed out Argentina from you list, you old racist you.
Now you no absolutely NOTHING of the world. You are too afraid to go beyond your own town, probably too poor to go elsewhere as well.
But don't worry, just imagine how much international support Argentina can gain now, by prostituting yourselves to Iran.
Hurts, doesn't it Tobias? Your well crafted delusion of Argentina being akin to the Garden of Eden, and holding the moral high ground, is very difficult to maintain when all of its flaws are laid so nakedly to the world.
Never mind, Tobias, go and bury your head in the sand, maybe that way, all the bad things happening in Argentina will 'magically' disappear.
Come to terms with your own history once you do life become alot better because you really do sound bitter,twisted and slightly angry,oh is there any food shortages with all those price contrls there?????
Argentina’s central bank ordered foreign exchange brokers in the Electronic Currency Market to trade no more than $3 million per day, a 70 percent reduction from current volumes, newspaper Cronista Comercial reported, citing agents present in the meeting.
Policy makers are seeking to drive trading into the Open Electronic Market, which can be monitored by central bank officials in real time, the Buenos Aires-based paper said.
The goal is to have greater control over the supply and demand of dollars after the bank’s international reserves dropped about $700 million this year, Cronista said.
Because they are not as bloody doollaly Tup as your insane government tells you they are!
My guess is they're going to have a hard time finding the U$ to pay their fuel bill this year. YPF is not doing too well under gov't control, anyone surprised?
Nothing will change until the gov't does
and if history is any indicator
it won't even change then
Argentinians will not take the medicine they need to get better.
This is why they went for Top 10 economies to #62 in 3 generations.
Pretty soon they'll be on par with Paraguay and Bolivia

argentinians are spanish
if jewish screwed in the wrong place...that is their fault!
No room in hell, it's full with your Nazi ancestors, don't worry though, there's always room for one more.
“argentinians are spanish”
Therefore, an implanted population - colonists. Shouldn't you relinquish Argentina to the indiginous indian population and return to your homeland?
WRONG. Argentines are not Spanish. They are not part of Spain, the nation that stole the land from the indians.
And even if you wanted to get “technical” about it, as in genetics, most in Argentina are something other than Spanish. In fact, there is not one group that forms a “majority” at all. Back to school tards.
“WRONG. Argentines are not Spanish.”
Address your comment to your fellow national - it was his comment.
He is a complete tosser, so give it to him with both barrels.
Besides, engaging in SUBREPTION is far more flagitious. Trunce willingly took an innacurate premise and drew a deliberately innacurate conclusion from an innacurate premise. Classic subreption.
Ditto.
your obsession with Argentina don't make sense, mind your own country
ElaineBurra!
you have the choice to ignore the comments of other people. why you keep making such stupid reponse!
Just post as-is forum i.d. - allows coherence addressing comment.

yankeeboy don't reside in the USA and don't know what is going in the USA with the Cyber attack
since Argentina has no scruples nor honor it is a good fit.
Might not be a good long term political move though but that will be for the next dictator to worry about

Still trying to deflect the attention from your own self-loathing are you Tito?
Still trying to disguise your lack of interlect by wrapping it up in big words are you?
Oh dear, Oh dear,
“you would show a disunited front and I would embarrass you all in noetic argument much more than I already do”
Like laughing boy Timerman, the only person you embarrass is yourself ( and possibly your family )
Let me ask you Tito, Is your mum a weightlifter?
She eould have to be, to raise a f**king dumbbell like you.......................
I know I am speaking to complete haters and biased hacks but I'll throw this out anyway:
This response encapsulates WHY I refuse to engage intellectually with any of you 98% of the time. Occasionally yes, I will engage in noetic colloquy with a few of you, but for the most part, when you are dealing with people that are so completely out to sea in terms of how the world really is or how things really are, it is pointless to get very cortical.
What do I mean? Here we have a FURRRKING AMERICAN talking about other nations not having scrupules and trading with them out of convenience. Is anyone here capable of exhibiting even a gram of decency to agree with me that is some hypocrisy of the highest order?
Which country has for DECADES propped up brutal dicators over an entire region so that their oil supply remain undisturbed? Which country sold their morals to the devil, arming fanatical religious extremist just to make things hard for their archenemy in Afghanistan in the 80s? What did those extremist turn around and do to them in 2001?
It is exactly this behavior, in this case by an American, but there are other examples by the British, or mainland Europeans, that makes me cringe and why you are losing an entire generation of young argentines from ever being friendly to you people.
Young people of my generation DETEST hypocrisy. You people simply don't seem to get it, and still believe you can fool us with such utterly asinine comments.
Maybe someone with a quater-brain will read this and acknowledge I do have a furking point.
You are wrong!
Argentina is anti-british!
Be fair mate, they are not biased! they hate everyone.
Nosey
Who cares what your brain washed generation thinks, as long as you keep it your side of the ocean and leave the islands in peace.
Argentina is anti-Spanish, and anti-British, anti-Italian, anti-French, and anti-German. Satisfied?
You might, just might have a point..................But you are still full of s**t!!

You are in good company Toby. Not one of them has a pot to piss in and all are international laughing stock like Argentina.
Obviously you care you moron, loitering in a topic about Argentina and IRAN. Nowhere do I see the Falkland Islands here. Thus your irrelevancy in this topic as a Brit is overwhelming.
same like the UK Team
and Troy thin tets Trumpet nothing he can't....do!
May I remind you to show some respect to my distinguished forum users like

Sorry I don't usually do that but I can't get it out of my mind!
Don't think so. Her teeth are 100% British isles / anglo-saxon.
hello yankeeboy still residing in the Falk-Slum-Lands with Isolde?
Even the “rich” people had some pretty bad problems.
You can claim whatever you want, the stereotype of English people (not just from England), and buck teeth and the like is well known. Just like Italians or Jews and aquiline noses, the Germans and their mandibules, the French and their armpits, etc, etc.
You should see the british men in the USA serving tables for $2.13 p/h plus tips...their british accent is repulsive!
Shouldn't you be in a survival bunker somewhere??
BTW I have been to London a bunch of times and don't remember seeing anyone with super bad teeth.
I definitely have seen worse in BA and PDE.
Dirty teeth on top of smoke and coffee does not make it pleasant to talk to someone.
79 yoli_99 Still think it's sad my cleaner can not say her real nationality because she is ashamed of Crissy Kirchner and belive me no British would serve tables for $2 per hour thats why we have an influx of East Europeans here in the UK,are you sure they weren't well educated Mexicans serving tables????
I don't smoke nor drink coffee nor chew gum nor drink a ton of carbonated drinks. Too bad for your first hand experience.
My first hand experience tells me all I said is true, you are a moron for thinking I've not seen TONS of brits, germans, french, italians, spaniards, etc in Mendoza. And yanks too... you can spot them from 10 blocks away, badly dressed and wide load. lol
You are one of the most pathetic and immature posters here.
You are like a young child in the school playground that is having a tantrum because it cannot get its own way.
You tell us all the time that you have such great wisdom and an indisputable grasp of facts.
You use childish insults against posters you do not agree with.
You make stupid generalisations just to suit yourself.
Your great experience - “My first hand experience tells me all I said is true, you are a moron for thinking I've not seen TONS of brits, germans, french, italians, spaniards, etc in Mendoza.”
You say - 98% of the posters on these threads to not warrant a reply from your good self, what egotistic crap!
You say - I will not discuss anything to do with Argentina with any of you, more egotistic crap!
But the truth is, you make all these comments because you have no longer have any debating skills of any kind. !!!!!!!!!!!!
By the way, Why are we not allowed to debate any issue that is not to do with the Falkland Islands ?
I remember hanging out with College kids from Australia, UK and the USA and lots of South Americans but I can't recall any other nationalities in great number. Even the ones I met the groups were no larger than 4-5 and they were college kids so not really a good representation of a whole country.
Also you talk of ALL THE USA retirees in Mendoza, are there more than 100 families? I highly doubt it.
You are nothing more than a poor under-educated kid from a poor backwards province in a poor backward country in a poor backward continent. You'll never know anywhere else and will only get your opinions through a computer screen. It is sad.
The times I have been in Mendoza there were hardly any tourists about - though I mostly travel out of season if I can arrange it. This time I shall be there at a busier time so maybe I shall encounter TONS of tourists. I doubt it though.
“spent most of my time in bars and clubs”
How am I not surprised.
Mendoza is the best province from the best country in the Americas. Yes USA maybe weathier, Brazil more vibrant, Chile more reliable, Canada safer... but Argentina is in top 3-5 in wealth, safety, reliability of travel. It may not be #1 in all, but in the USA you have no culture, in Chile it is boring as a doorknob, in Brazil completely unsafe... Argentina has a combination of all of the good things. Sucks for your narrative.
Difference with me is I don't have to lie about being magnificently wealthy to feel either important, entitled, or as a tactic to blow off debate. You and the others here use it as you lone shield to say “we have money we've seen things you haven't”... but the truth is you are all LIARS. You are not rich, you have not travelled, and you pretend you do on a remote website online.
PATHETIC.
Toby, I don't lie. For the time I was living in BA I was basically an investor I didn't really work so I spent a lot of time at restaurants, bars and clubs. I particularly liked the Jockey Club both downtown and San Isidro during the day but would go out at night to places a little more lively. I know people in your country you only read about.
BTW Mendoza is not anywhere near the top 5 of wealth or safety and certainly not reliability of travel if that is even something that is measured. I would point you to the 100s of cars still stranded trying to get to Chile or into Argentina RIGHT NOW. Gads you are stupid.
I just fucked Mila Kunis and Luisana Lopilato.
Nice language
but what can you expect from the lower classses
I redacted something so shocking both in language and content to create an effect.
It succeeded from your response.
That's how YOU read to me whenever I desultorily scan through your aggrandizing replies anent ANYTHING remotely associated with Argentina.
It just shows your insecurity.
How are you enjoying your climate change?? I think your country's gonna do very very badly next 30-50 years.
SELF DETERMINATION
Argentina is anti-british!
AFUERA DE MI PAIS INGLESES ODIOSOS!
You speak for the whole of Argentina do you? Like Timermen says the whole world agrees with Argentina ref THE FALKLAND ISLANDS ( Both of you are a joke)
SELF DETERMINATION ( Why are you all afraid of it? )
it is like going out wearing a hat with a feather, a velvet coat and a cravat.
All technically fine but one just doesn't do it without looking silly.
You can tell by her mental capacity and tenuous grasp of the English language she can't live anywhere decent in the USA. I doubt very much she has ever left Villa 31 near Retiro.
But, even when I know he's an idiot, it always amazes me!
He's so ignorant, that he could be a character in a comedy film. But it would be a horror film, since I live here in Argentina.
CFK's pseudo-fascist government is clearly approaching nazi ideology. That's bad, but at least she's acting what she thinks...
I'm scared.
