Chandrika - LTTE Talks: 1994/95 

Letter from LTTE leader
to Sri Lanka President

25 February 1995

LTTE Headquarters
Jaffna

Hon. Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga
President of Sri Lanka
Presidential Secretariat
Colombo

Dear President,

Thank you very much for your letter dated 20th February 1995.

    I do appreciate your sincere concern that the peace initiative should progress towards an amicable settlement through personal exchange of ideas, suggestions, and explanations. With this objective in view, you have suggested the good offices of a neutral intermediary.

    Having given serious thought to your suggestion, we are of the opinion that the negotiating process should be conducted by accredited representatives of the Government and the LTTE. Your representatives can convey ideas and proposals for our consideration in an open dialogue. Since the talks have evoked local and international interest and concern, we feel that the issues discussed and the progress made in the political negotiations be made public.

    Given our position, I wish to inform you that at this particular conjuncture we are not favourably disposed to your suggestion of a neutral intermediary for interpersonal communication. I hope you will understand.

With kind regards.

Yours sincerely,

(Mr. V.Pirabaharan)
Leader Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
