GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Sep 22 2015 – President David Granger Tuesday said that Venezuela is building up troops near the border with Guyana as the two countries continue to spar publicly about their centuries old border dispute.
“It is very provocative and we feel Venezuela is treading a very dangerous course at this point in time, rather than seeking a peaceful resolution to the matter Venezuela seems to be pursuing a very defensive and aggressive course,” President Granger told reporters.
“We have recently received reports that Venezuela has been making extraordinary military deployments in eastern Venezuela, that is western Guyana, which seem to be impacting on Guyana’s territorial defence,” he added.
