Panama president withdraws forces claims victory
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Arnullo Arias, the deposed president of Panama who seized control of his country's embassy Tuesday withdrew his forces yesterday with the declaration: "The battle is won. It was purely symbolic."
The Panamanian said that for the remainder of his stay in Washington, he will conduct his business from a 9th floor suite in the Watergate Hotel overlooking the Potomac rather than the two-story embassy on 29th Street, N.W.
During the night after Arias staged his takeover Tuesday, supporters of the military junta that overthrew Arias Oct. 11 slipped into the embassy building and changed all the locks, a few hours after they had been changed by Arias.
But Arias, 67, insisted that the new locks were not the reason he decided against continuing his occupation.
"I made my point and there was no reason to go any further," he said.
The embassy appeared empty today. A small sign on the front door said: "This chancery will be closed today, compliments of the Embassy of Panama."
Arias' mini-coup took place when the Harvard-trained physician "on the spur of the moment," he said later -was on his way from the airport Tuesday morning.
Shortly after taking over the building, Arias watched a telegraph printer clatter off a warning from Panama and the ruling military junta that Arias was heading for Washington.
