Falkland Vote

Argentina's foreign minister demanded talks with Britain on the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, but Britain again refused, pointing to the islanders' overwhelming vote this month to remain British.

Argentine President Cristina Kirchner dismissed on Tuesday a referendum that saw Falkland islanders vote overwhelmingly to remain a British territory, rejecting demands that she accept the outcome.

Residents of the Falkland Islands voted almost unanimously to stay under British rule in a referendum aimed at winning global sympathy as Argentina intensifies its sovereignty claim.
