NATO said it is currently preparing an agreement with the South American country.* ... During a ceremony in the southern city of Potosi, Morales held that President Juan Manuel Santos' determination to join NATO violated the peace treaties signed by the Unasur and poses a danger of military intervention to the nations of Latin America and the Caribbean. "We can not allow NATO to intervene in Latin America. Having NATO is a threat to our continent, to Latin America and the Caribbean," he said. The president asked the General Secretariat to convene an emergency meeting to take the steps to block the Security Council and to take a joint position of rejecting NATO's arrival to the region through Colombia. He believes that the presence of that military organization would be to destabilize and undermine leftist governments in Latin America, primarily Venezuela, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Bolivia itself. ... ... NATO said it is currently preparing an agreement with the South American country that "would allow the exchange of classified information between NATO and Colombia". ... http://www.telesurtv.net/articulos/2013/06/03/presidente-morales-pide-cumbre-de-la-unasur-para-analizar-union-de-colombia-a-otan-9233.html [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
