The statement explains the “strategy of fear” and other “hostile” arguments, and claims for “a friendly separation, preferably under international supervision and with external support for both parties.” The post is available in English [1], Spanish [5], German [6], French [7], Arabic [8], Russian [9], Portuguese [10]Italian [11] and Dutch.
