Nicaragua's Vice President Says Costa Rica Not To Fear A Military Attack By His Country

Jaime Morales, Nicaragua's vice-president, said on Thursday that Costa Rica does not have to fear a military attack by Nicaragua, as Costa Rica has 'A Police better equipped than any army".

The comments by the Nicaraguan VP were made on Nicaragua's local television channel 12, rejecting claims of a Costa Rican newspaper that the Army of Nicaragua is "armed to the teeth" and constitutes a threat to the southern neighbor.

"Costa Rica has always said it has no army, but has a better equipped police that any army. You do not have tanks, helicopters or aircraft, but has a super well-armed police, and very large also," he said.

Morales explained that Nicaragua only seeks to defend its sovereignty against drug trafficking and other external threats, but "not to attack or to have confrontations with neighbors (because) they are our brothers."

"These are myths, rumors and gossip," he insisted to play down the report by the Costa Rican newspaper Al Día.

Morales emphasized that Costa Rica's president-elect, Laura Chinchilla, expressed her "good intention to have a fraternal closeness" with Nicaragua, and said that this attitude will be reciprocated by the government of Daniel Ortega.

"President Ortega wants to have the best relations with all countries (more so) if there is a demonstration and an approach of a lady as that of the president of Costa Rica," he added.
