¶1. (C) British High Commissioner told Ambassador today that
he had heard that President Kumaratunga had made the
following remarks to German Foreign Minister Fischer:
--"As far as I know, the Government is not supporting
Karuna, but I can't control everything that my Army might be
doing."
--"It is possible to negotiate with the Tamil people, but it
is impossible to negotiate with Prabhakaran."
