Algiers, July 13, 2014 (SPS) - The "offensive" remarks made by a member of Moroccan government against Algeria constitute an "abuse" and denote a "nervousness that ill befits the relations between the two brother and neighbouring countries," the spokesman of the ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abdelaziz Benali Cherif,said Saturday.
"Through their irresponsible remarks against Algeria, senior Moroccan government officials take up again Morocco's well known practice of headlong rush whenever the decolonization process in Western Sahara makes a step forward," Benali Cherif told APS.
"In addition to the fact that they are erroneous, as they refer to activities and political positions of entities and actors other than Algeria, those outrageously insulting remarks constitute an abuse and denote a nervousness that ill befit the relations between the two brother and neighbouring countries."
"This attitude by certain Moroccan authorities cannot mislead the populations of the region nor the international community, who are able to establish the responsibility of the deadlock in the settlement of Western Sahara conflict as well as the subsequent negative consequences," Benali Cherif stressed.
