Obama Nobel reflects badly on his predecessors: Castro
October 10th, 2009 - 11:06 pm ICT by IANS
Havana, Oct 10 (DPA) Former Cuban president Fidel Castro Saturday described the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to US President Barack Obama as a “positive measure” that marked a criticism of the “genocidal policies” of previous US presidents.
“Many will say that he still hasn’t earned the right to receive such distinction,” the 83-year-old Cuban revolutionary leader said in a statement released in Havana.
“We prefer to see in the decision, more than a prize for the president of the United States, a criticism of the genocidal policies that not a few presidents of that country have followed.”
