Slight correction to their fantasy- They no doubt raised their fantasy claim with British Ministers - who replied - no comment as that is a matter we do not discuss without members of the Islands Govt present and in agreement.

“It was also pointed out that the Argentine lawmakers also brought up the issue of the historic position of Argentina regarding the Malvinas question, following on what indicates the country's constitution.”

Again ???? While Argentina's position on the FI is indeed historic, it is also totally false. And the fact that it is mentioned as Argy territory in their Constitution, is meaningless.

How can Argentina claim the Falklands when she has never legally owned them?

Falklands- Never Belonged to Argentina: (seemed like a good title).

“All bilateral agenda issues, and Falklands were addressed” That's a terrific place to put the comma in that headline because it means that the Argies recognise that the Falklands isn't part of any bilateral agenda.

”who added that the task of Argentine lawmakers is from Congress “to help with the international insertion of the country”.

@Hepatia they have been saying that since the 14th April 1982. Something you never had can not be returned.

@Hippy
At least once , every 2 or 3 years, update your projection of 25 years.....or, are you saying “in 25 years” because you know it will always be 25 years from the day you say it, and that it will never happen ?

Argentina will replace their Tucano 'fighter aircraft' with biplanes within the next 25 years.

You will be resting in your grave for eternity before the Falklands ever become associated with Argentina.
