Basque region ready for multiparty peace talks

Conditions are ripe for multiparty talks on the future of Spain’s strife-torn Basque region, with armed separatist group ETA having called a ceasefire last month, the leader of the group’s banned political wing said on Wednesday. ”All conditions are in place” for ”a multiparty negotiation” on the future of their wealthy northern region, Batasuna leader Arnaldo Otegi said.
