Sri Lanka says the LTTE has plans to establish virtual states even in countries where the LTTE is officially banned and therefore feels betrayed by those governments and urged the international community to prevent the move.

Prime Minister D. M. Jayaratne at a meeting with Japanese envoy Yasushi Akashi today said that the LTTE is planning to set up a virtual states in certain countries and those governments should take strict action to prevent it, the Prime Minister’s office said in a statement.

“The LTTE has planned to establish virtual states even in countries where the LTTE is officially banned. Therefore we suspect whether those governments have betrayed the Government of Sri Lanka”, the Prime Minister told Mr. Akashi.

“We have not allowed any group or individual to conspire against any State in the world within the territory of Sri Lanka. Therefore it is the duty of those governments to stop the factions who take measures against the Sri Lankan government inside their countries,” he said. (Daily Mirror online)

Good move Mr PM. In fact, this is good to practice your English (may be Japanese).

It should be other way around because Sri Lanka betrayed its very own Tamil community without providing any proper solutions until now

The question that clearly arises, in this context, is if it is in order for any country to allow such a group that engages in hostile acts aginst another sovereign state to freely operate from within its territory? Undoubtedly, there are basic tenets of international relations involved herein.

Sri Lanka has true friends only among the 'Non-Aligned Nations.' The others are just bluffing.

Yes, they were thinking of Tamils when the LTTE was active but with the LTTE gone , they don't care about the Tamils now.

Sri Lanka cannot distinguish between LTTE and Tamils. Other countries can. lol.

Even at one time China was a true friend of Iran, but the same friend voted favour of the UN sanction against Iran.
