The Argentina minister says, ....''but not the wishes — of the current inhabitants, while respecting Argentina’s territorial integrity as outlined in Assembly resolution 1514 (XV) on decolonization.''

Nothing to negotiate about , what the Argies want they can not have, you can sit and talk for ever and a day but sovereignty is not up for discussion, the sooner they realise that the better it would be for them.

“British occupation of the Malvinas Islands in 1833 was an act of force that expelled Argentina’s legitimate authorities and settlers”.

This is a statement of historic untruth. Nobody was expelled in 1833.

Every single person who left on January 6th 1833 was planning to leave on January 5th 1833.

There can be no discussion or negotiation made on an historic untruth invented by Argentina.

Urghhh, here we go AGAIN. Argentina did not exist in 1833. Their first constitution as a republic dates from 1853.
