Guyana turns to United Nations to settle border dispute with Venezuela
Greenidge contended that “no reasonable observer could have possibly anticipated that Venezuela could ever regard the position where the Deep Water Champion is located as even remotely falling within the areas claimed by Venezuela”.
His comments follow a statement issued by his Venezuelan counterpart Delcy Rodriguez. Her statement was issued after Guyana responded to president Nicolás Maduro’s decree, declaring that the country would fight Venezuela in its attempt to claim the maritime territory.
Rodriguez said it was unacceptable that the new government of Guyana take this position with a territory that is under dispute”, adding that the government showed “a dangerous provocative policy against a peaceful Venezuela, backed by the imperial power of a US transnational, ExxonMobil, which should be rectified immediately.” -(CMC)
