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
