Colombo, Aug 31: Tamil Tiger rebels are likely to make counter-proposals to the Sri Lanka government within a month to revive the peace talks and will leave for Switzerland shortly for talks with government authorities, the rebels said today.
At the Switzerland meeting, the rebel Tigers are likely to finalise the proposals that were drafted at a four-day, closed-door meeting of LTTE constitutional and legal experts in Paris last week. "The draft proposal will then be handed over to the Norwegian government will submit the LTTE's response to the government of Sri Lanka,".
"This process is expected to take approximately four weeks according to informed sources," it said.
LTTE's political Wing Leader S P Thamilselvan, eastern military commander Karuna and the head of their peace secretariat Pulithevan will travel to Switzerland on Wednesday.
The tigers had completed substantial work on their counter-proposals to resume Norwegian-brokered peace negotiations aimed at ending a three-decades-long war on the island.

Among the LTTE's international advisors who attended the discussions in Paris were Prof. Sornarajah (Singapore), Prof. Ramasamy (Malaysia), Prof. Manuelpillai Paul Dominic (Australia), Shiva Pasupathi (Australia) and Visvendran (UK).
