Dispute over -Peru
NZPA-Reuter Lima, Peru Peru said yesterday it considered its border dispute with Ecuador was over after Ecuadorean troops pulled back to the western side of the Condor mountain range. The cause, of the border skirmishes of the last four weeks had been removed, the Government said. The four guarantor countries of the Rio de Janeiro peace treaty which ended a war between the two nations 40 years ago said in Brasilia earlier that both armies had agreed to withdraw “a reasonable distance” from the disputed area. Ecuador has long claimed a big area of northern Peru with access to the River Amazon. The frontier in the Condor range is not defined, but Peru maintains that it runs along the crest of the mountain, Ecuador lying to the west and Paru to the past. The Peruvian Government said that Peruvian troops would remain on the eastern side of the range as long as Ecuadorean forces remained on the western side.
