The meeting was about starting peace talks and stopping the violence.

The ... Tigers were not involved in any activity that breaches the ceasefire agreement.

We deny all the allegations. The government wants to hurt us internationally.

The three sailors died. One Sea Tiger cadre was injured.

It will affect the atmosphere of the peace process.

No such thing has happened.

There is no connection whatsoever between us and this attack. The Liberation Tigers were not involved in any activity that breaches the cease-fire agreement.

The two main problems remain the peace talks venue and how to implement the cease-fire.

Whoever wins the presidential election will have no choice but to meet us to discuss the peace process since the conflict involves us. So with this in mind, we are ready to meet any party that comes to power.
