Ecuador alleges that Insulza, said diplomatic crisis has responsibility.
Quito, July 22 .- The Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino, recriminations today the secretary general of the OAS, Jose Miguel Insulza, by holding a meeting of the Permanent Council of the organization that led to the rupture of diplomatic relations between Venezuela and Colombia, and I think that has responsibility in this crisis.
"Do not try irresponsibly an issue that could, tera gold, endanger the maintenance of peace in the region," said Patino and reproached Insulza has been shielded in the rules of the Organization of American States (OAS) to avoid delaying the meeting, prior to consultations with member countries.
Ecuador assure Patino asked "repeatedly" to international officials delayed the meeting, which reviewed the allegations about Colombia on the alleged presence of guerrillas in Venezuelan, cheap kinah, territory.
"We warn you," repeated the Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Insulza to reiterate that I talk several times about the risk embodied convene the meeting of the OAS, before consultations to members of the body.
"Between Monday and Tuesday spoke by telephone over three or four times to warn him of acting responsibly," the Chancellor pointed out that with, aika gold, the Inter-American Charter in hand, assure that Insulza would have breached the mandate given.
The OAS document "does not say" the secretary general must "comply with the regulations distorted, no. Dice (to be) to strengthen peace and security on the continent," remarked Patino.
You said the Ecuadorian government on 20 June, Insulza sent a letter in which he requested "a review of the call, and postpone it … We never said that it is not … that meets postpone it. "
That request sought, he added Patino, it is made "consultations with other member countries of the region to discuss the current political moment that could affect the level of relations between countries" in Latin America.
This is an issue that Insulza "I am quite large", recriminations and ironically Patino said the secretary of the OAS, covered in the regulations, "incinerate the region."
For Patino, the diplomatic conflict between Caracas and Bogota and can not be solved within the framework of the OAS and therefore said he would consult with the president of his country, Rafael Correa, to search for outlets in the framework of the Union of South American Nations ( UNASUR).
He recalled that spoke with Venezuelan Foreign Minister Nicolas Maduro, who informed him of breaking relations with Colombia and asked to intervene in Unasur.
Patino also said he spoke with the designated Colombian Foreign Minister Maria Angela Holguin, whom I can talk on Monday in Quito, where I assure you that the new government of their country, chaired by Juan Manuel Santos, has "the best arrangement to strengthen the relationship between Colombia and Ecuador and Colombia and Venezuela. "
"We hope that so be it," he added Patino, noting that in the next hours talking with the foreign ministers of the UNASUR to take a decision.
Patino's anger Insulza also leads to the possibility that Ecuador no longer includes the OAS to support the process of restoring full diplomatic relations with Colombia, broken since March 2008, by a Colombian military attackagainst guerrillas in that country, but in Ecuadorian territory.
"For purposes of our relationship with Colombia, we are not going to look to the OAS, obviously," I say Patino, but said it may no longer be a need for further mediation if talks with Bogota progressing well, as envisaged both Governments.
Also, Patino highlight the willingness of Latin American countries going to the conformation of a Community of States of the region, but still requires some time for his birth.
