Yasser Arafat and Paolo Cotta-Ramusino (January 2004)
Mr. Rawhi Fattouh
The Palestinian Authority
Ramallah
Dear Mr. Fattouh,
As Secretary General of Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, I would like to express to the Palestinian Authority my deepest condolences at the passing of President Yasser Arafat. I had met him personally on two occasions in Ramallah, and I was deeply impressed by his humanity, commitment to finding a solution, concern for a difficult situation, and his desire to reach the outside world, especially considering the limitations imposed on him. The last time we spoke we had talked about the Geneva Peace Plan, and he was very supportive of it. We all share a desire to find a just solution. Please extend my deepest condolences to his family as well.
Paolo Cotta-Ramusino
Secretary General
