Tamilselvan holds discussions with Northern Ireland specialists
Mr Tamilselvan, Leader of LTTE Political Wing, held discussions with Northern Ireland specialists, Rt Hon Paul Murphy, Former Secretary of State for Northern Ireland and Christopher Maccabe, British Joint Secretary of the British-Irish Intergovernmental Secretariat, today in Kilinochchi at the LTTE Political Head Quarters.
 Following the meeting, Paul Murphy told the press that the meeting was extremely fruitful. He added that there are very strong similarities between the Northern Ireland and Northeast conflicts. Peace, he said is possible, when all issues are placed on the table and everyone is treated with equal respect at the tables. He also said that the CFA should be one with integrity. Tamilselvan speaking to the press after the discussions said that he pointed out to the visitors that the failure of the peace process was due to the intransigence of the GoSL. He told the visitors that in the case of Northern Ireland peace process the British government showed dedication where as here the GoSL has neither focus nor the dedication needed. Tamilselvan told the visitors that even the CFA brought in with huge international support has lost its integrity due to blatant flouting of the CFA by the GoSL. He requested Paul Murphy and Christopher Maccabe to inform the international community to bring pressure on the GoSL to bring it in line with the CFA.
