DOMINICAN GOVERNMENT TELLS CANADA DAILY IT CANNOT BEAR HAITI'S WEIGHT
(Dominican Today) -
Santo Domingo - Foreign Relations minister Carlos Morales on Tuesday accused Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail, of distorting Dominican Republic’s relation with Haiti, in a recent Op-Ed which says that denying descendants of Haitians of Dominican citizenship is “unfair.”
In a letter to the daily, the official called Dominican Republic-Haiti relations normal, harmonious and close, the “characteristics extended to Haitian citizens who live and work in Dominican territory.”
Morales said the Haitians are protected by the same rights stipulated under the Dominican Constitution, noting that investigations and possible future cancellation of civil registry documents such as birth certificates, in no way violate the country’s commitments to human rights.
He said that the Dominican Republic cannot be asked to bear the burden and human costs of the Haitian nation’s economic situation.
