ARGENTINA/PERU: Cristina Apologizes For Weapons Sale After 16 Years.

MERCOPRESS/   Argentina and Peru have ended 16 years of “cold relations” with official apologies by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner for the 1995 alleged illegal sale of weapons to Ecuador while Peru was in conflict with Argentina. Kirchner said: “There are few nations with which we have such important common historic bonds. The Peruvian administration sent us airplanes, pilots, missiles, and aid during Malvinas wartime.”
