Venezuela has denied that its army shot at Guyana Geology and Mines Com-mission (GGMC) workers last month while they were travelling in this country’s waters but Georgetown remains adamant the incident occurred.
“We did our investigation and we are very much convinced the incident occurred,” Chief of Staff of the Guyana Defence Force, Brigadier Mark Phillips told Stabroek News yesterday, when contacted.
Georgetown has since protested to Caracas on the issue and has said that the matter will be brought to the attention of the Secretary General of the United Nation, Ban Ki-moon, in his capacity as Good Officer under the Geneva Agreement and members of the UN and its Security Council.
