While claiming that the United Nations should not complicate the process of reconciliation in war-battered Sri Lanka, Russia said that the report prepared by the panel of experts, appointed by the UN Secretary General is not a UN report, but it was a personal initiative of the UN Chief.

“We speak not about a 'UN report', since it was prepared neither by a UN body or nor even by its request. It was just a personal initiative of the UN Secretary General”, the Sri Lanka defence ministry said quoting Russian ambassador in Colombo Valdimir P. Mikhaylov.

He further said that, we should be more precise in definitions not to mislead public. The Ambassador also said “Unfortunately it seems that the panel of experts went beyond its task, at least as it had been made known to our representatives of New York.

” Finally, the Ambassador concluded saying "we believe that now, when Sri Lanka healing its wounds after long armed conflict, the UN may render its assistance, if needed, and not to complicate the process of reconciliation. Our representative to the UN in New York recently reconfirmed this position.” The ambassador made this comment after holding talks with the defence secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa at the Defence Ministry today.
