On Friday 4th, Ms Cecilia Nahón, Argentina Ambassador to the United States, wrote an article for the Huffington Post, titled 'Malvinas: All Argentina Is Saying Is Give Dialogue A Chance.' In the article, Ambassador Nahón described how old political disputes in the United States were being solved as a result of 'a willingness to engage in dialogue and diplomatic negotiations.' Amb. Nahón went on to detail how the Question of the Falkland Islands was an '182-year old sovereignty dispute with the United Kingdom', in reference to the reassertion of British sovereignty of the Islands in 1833. Argentina refers to this as the 'usurpation' of the Islands, and claims that the entire Argentina population was forcibly ejected from the Islands, although records within the Argentine National Archives show this was not the case.
