ETA statement

From: http://www.basquepeaceprocess.info/?p=5497

ETA raises three topics to be dicussed: “The formulas and timing to bring home all Basque political prisoners and exiles, the formulas and timing of disarmament, the dissolution of armed structures and demobilization of ETA’s activists, and the steps and deadlines for the demilitarization of the Basque Country, adjusting at the end of the armed conflict, the armed forces stablished in the Basque Country. “

The statement includes other notes to consider and two goals, while stressing that full agreement on these issues “would bring a definitive end to the armed confrontation.”

ETA recalls that Madrid and Paris have “accurate knowledge” of their willingness and commitment. And after launching the proposal, the Basque organization adds that it is willing to “listen and analyze” what are the proposals of the two governments.

In the first part of the statement, to be published in Sunday’s edition of GARA, ETA shows its concern and denounces the “involution” that it percives over the last year and asseses the position of both states and some parties. In face of those positions ETA stresses that Basque society is strong enough to break the blockade. ETA also believes that there are sound reasons for the international community to continue its efforts to achieve a resolution and confirms its willingness to work and make decisions on that path.
