Costa Rican President Views Russia-Venezuela's
Exercises As Natural
The news given
by the Russian
government about
conducting naval manoeuvres along with
Venezuela in Latin
American waters is "the
logical reply" to the US
decision to deploy part
of its anti-missile
shield in Eastern
Europe, said on
Wednesday Costa Rica's
President, Oscar Arias.
"It is the logical
reaction in the face of
provocation which means
the deployment of
anti-missile shields in
these two Russia's
neighbor countries,"
said in reference to
Poland and the Czech
Republic the Nobel Peace
Prize Laureate in a
conference held in
Madrid, AFP reported.
"Nobody will believe the
story about protection
from Iran," said Arias
in reference to
Washington's claim to
deploy the anti-missile
shield.
"Americans could be more
careful and try, if
needed - I think it is
not - to locate them
elsewhere." |
