Colombia is granting fishing rights in Nicaraguan waters to Honduran companies, charged general Julio Cesar Aviles, head of the Nicaraguan Army Command.
In the past few days, the Nicaraguan Navy increased patrol of territorial waters and captured four fishing boats with Colombian permits and flying Honduran flags.
Managua authorities accepted a ruling of the International Court of Justice on December 2007 that decided that meridian 82 is not a border.
Aviles pointed out that waters to the east of the meridian are closer to Nicaragua than to Colombia.
He added that Bogota tries to intimidate Nicaragua through spokespersons of the chancellery and also with the presence of ships in the area.
Aviles concluded that authorities of his country should be on the alert regarding the Colombian strategy of claiming those waters that correspond to his nation.
