		They were the victims of calculated provocation by the LTTE as well as the arrogance and incompetence behind India's peace-keeping role. We viewed the Indo-Lanka Accord as an opportunity for the people to reassert some control over their destiny.
		Given their inability to question the LTTE in the first instance, any protest against the harshness of the Indian or the Sri Lankan states was not going restore their dignity.
		This control would not come through dependence on the Indian or the Sri Lankan states.

		The Conference is intended to explore the central issues of the Tamil national struggle and examine the extent to which the Indo Sri Lankan Peace Accord of July 1987 satisfies the aspirations of the Tamils of Sri Lanka, and in particular their claim to the right of self determination.

	INDO - SRI LANKA AGREEMENT - InfoLanka Forum
		And RaviS, this was the "Indo Lanka Accord" and hence the two leaders of the country signed it and not representative of groups in either country.
		When J. Jayawardana’s government transformed the Sri Lankan economy into an open market economy and changed the constitution to reflect the US system, India perceived it to be a threat to their regional dominance and helped fuel the civil war by arming and training the separatist groups in Indian soil.
		It should be adequately clear that LTTE will not be content being any part of Sri Lanka for long and would look for any opportunity to attain their final goal of a seperate country.
