[TamilNet, Monday, 18 February 2008, 05:49 GMT]
The Liberation Tiger of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) informed TamilNet that following a council meeting of elderly LTTE cadres (25+) and the Supreme Leader this morning, the non-existent state of Eelam has accepted Kosovo’s declaration of independence and sovereignty.
The statement released by the LTTE media unit to TamilNet reads:
"We the LTTE as rulers of the 100% democratic, liberal, racially pure and yet to be independent state of Eelam, which has been in the making since 1919, have decided to accept Kosovo’s independence and sovereignty. We congratulate them in achieving such a feat in a mere decade while we have been making noise for our own racially pure land (to be later annexed with Greater Eelam north of the Palk Straits) for 89 years. It is unfortunate that the racist Sinhala majority leaders have not had the foresight like Serbia’s majority racist leaders."
"Eelam shares much in common with Kosovo. Their President was branded a terrorist. Ours is still branded a terrorist. Their President indiscriminately killed and cleansed his territory of as many of the majority Serbs as possible. Our President accomplished this 20 years ago with a 100% success rate, unlike Kosovo which still has some Serbs lingering around. But we believe they will soon be dealt with.
It is also encouraging to know that Kosovo, like Eelam, also believes in the right to play the minority race card, steal someone else’s land, kill people and then accuse them of racism and genocide and most importantly, the right to self determination – although slightly different to our vision of self-annihilation of our own people, but nonetheless acceptable.
We too hope to one day deliver independence to the Tamil die-ass-pora so that they can come and holiday in their special racially pure Tamil-only retreat, where they can live, breath and feel fellow Tamils, sharing land with no one accept their fellow Tamils, but at the moment Pottu Amman is yet to make his down payment on his retirement house in Canadam, and Thalivar has Charly boys tuition fees to pay for" the statement went on to say.
