Hagrup Haukland Talks Quotations

When the talks on the CFA take place in Geneva, the SLMM expects that it should table its views on stabilizing the CFA. Let us hope that the Geneva talks will lead to the constructive beginning of the peace process.

I am really looking forward to the talks, but I have to underline that the talks that we are going to have on the 22nd and the 23rd are not all peace talks.

If such attacks and killings should reoccur, the SLMM (Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission) fears that the next round of talks is put at stake.

When the parties have their talks in Geneva, they need a stable environment. My fingers are crossed we will not have a major incident between now and then. Any serious incident could derail the process.

The talks ended on a positive note with a recommitment expressed by both parties to implement the existing cease-fire agreement.

This is madness. There are parties in this country who want nothing but war. If this goes on, the ceasefire agreement talks will go down the drain.
