FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The Royal Navy also announced last week it was sending its most powerful
warship, HMS Dauntless, to the South Pacific.
William Hague told the Sky News Murnaghan programme on Monday that
commemorations would go ahead to mark the 30-year anniversary of the
Falklands conflict.
He said Britain supported the islanders’ self-determination and would seek to
prevent Argentina from “raising the diplomatic temperature” on the
issue.
Mr Hague said: “(The events) are not so much celebrations as
commemorations.
“I think Argentina will also be holding commemorations of those who died
in the conflict.
“Since both countries will be doing that I don’t think there is anything
provocative about that.”
Deployments of a warship and Prince William to the Falkland Islands are “entirely
routine”, the Foreign Secretary said.
Argentina has received the backing of Latin American countries for its claim
of sovereignty over the remote, wind-lashed islands, which were occupied by
Britain in 1833.
The dispute erupted into warfare April 2, 1981 when Argentine troops seized
the islands, only to be routed in a 74-day war that claimed the lives of 649
Argentines and 255 Britons.
Diplomatic friction between Argentina and Britain has intensified since 2010,
when the Government authorised oil exploration in the waters near the
islands.
