Argentina has condemned the international community for not accepting the results of the Crimean referendum, President Cristina Kirchner said, citing a UN Charter that stipulates the right of people to self-determination. She has compared Crimea to the Falkland Islands, a disputed territory, claimed by both Argentina and the United Kingdom. The Falkland Islands also held a referendum a year ago. Many of the major powers, which have secured the Falklands’ people right to self-determination, do not want to do the same in relation to the Crimea now,” she said. “How can you call yourselves guarantors of world stability, if you do not apply the same standards for everyone? It looks like the Crimeans cannot express their will, but the residents of the Falklands can. There is zero logic in that.
