why do argentine conquestadors think they have a right to these aswell? theyre more than 1500 miles away from argentina.

@111jasy111 I know that the original Argentine claims do not originate with oil (nor do ours) and if Argentina has discovered oil in Patagonia, good luck to you. But the fact that the Falklanders (whom Argentina says would be allowed to stay on the islands anyway) choose to exploit their own natural resources (it is run by FIG, not HMG) should not be an issue affecting Argentina unless Argentina would make direct profit from such oil, whereas the UK does not make any direct profit.

@111jasy111 And i dont know wot you are wanting reparation for, you live on barren wind swept islands that britain discovered and fought for so the people can live under a free democracy instead of a dictatorship regime that forced the islanders to change their way of life to suit the argentines in them few weeks they invaded! i bet you are a dirty spic who claims to live on the falklands as i find it hard to believe a true falklander would come out with shit you are spouting out!

@Whitbywatcher what do you expect from a backward uncivilized corrupt spic of a nation. argentina is a cast off colony of spain, just look at how spain acts against gibraltar, EVERY spanish speaking nation has had some form of corrupt dictatorship, they only know how to play dirty until britain gives them a slap. they are all dirty spic dogs anyway

I will tell you what was real progress:
In 1972 Argentina's Air Force built a runway from where the islanders could enjoy flying to the mainland twice a week by the Argentine State Airlines everytime they needed medical assistance or when they sent their kids to our schools or when they simply wanted to visit and enjoy our beaches during the summer.
Years later Britain built a runway too but the service was still under the Argentine State Ailines with permanent argentine personnel on Stanley.

@Myles0Harcourt Two weeks ago about 930 million barrels equivalent of shale oil were discovered in Patagonia. Oil is just a circumstance. Our cause does not originate in oil and you do know that. President Menem neo liberal policies brought collapse to Argentina in 2001. Perhaps that is what the masterminds behind the islanders psyche see as real progress: the destruction of Argentina's economy and hence destruction of Argentina's rightful sovereignty claims in the South Atlantic Ocean.

After diplomatic relations were restored there was real dialogue between the Falklands and Argentina, and there were agreements in areas such as fisheries, research, transport and crucially oil. It's a shame that CFK's government has ripped it all up, especially the oil (Argentina might otherwise be able to look forward to big money). Real progress was made under president Menem, and it is a pity that CFK is going back on it and alienating the Falkland Islanders more than ever.
CONGRATULATIONS to Argentina - one single Falkland Islander has decided to take up Argentine citizenship, this means there are now only another 3,139 more to go; Did you know that the Faroe Islands are much nearer to Britain than they are to Denmark, but the Faroe Islands are Danish, do we claim they belong to us (the British) ? - No of course not.
