Argentine President condemned the position of the West

Argentine leader Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner recalled that the UN Charter stipulates the right of peoples to self-determination, and this rule should apply to all countries. Kirchner compared the situation in Crimea with another case in modern istorii.Tak, a referendum held a year ago in the Falklands - a disputed territory claimed by Argentina and the United Kingdom, in 1982, resulted in a confrontation even open military conflict.

Britain then defended Falklands by force of arms, and in March of last year for having to stay in the Kingdom were even almost all the residents in a plebiscite. Then, as reminded Kirchner, the UN did not challenge the legality of the vote. "Many of the major powers, which are secured to the people the right to self Falklands, now do not want to do the same in relation to the Crimea. How can you call yourself a guarantor of world stability, if not all apply the same standards? It turns out Crimeans can not express their will, and the inhabitants of the Falklands can be? In the same logic, no! "- She said. EU countries and the US government refused to recognize the results of the referendum in the Crimea, the results of which Crimeans voted for autonomy entry into Russia. On Monday, in response to the holding of a referendum in the Crimea, the EU introduced sanctions against Russia "second tier": freezing of financial assets and a visa ban on entry to the EU for those Russian officials, which the West calls "responsible for the annexation of the Crimea." This higher level raised US sanctions - Barack Obama signed a decree that prohibited entry into the United States and seize stationed there assets of seven Russian officials and deputies: Federation Council Speaker Valentina Matvienko, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, presidential adviser Sergei Glazyev , presidential aide Vladislav Surkov, the State Duma deputies Yelena Mizulina and Leonid Slutsky, Senator Andrei Klishas. Note that by refusing contacts with Russia, the West does not harm us, and to yourself. The response to US and European sanctions was the statement by the State Duma "On sanctions, the United States and the European Union" in which Western leaders proposed to extend restrictions on all the deputies.
