(The Associated Press) - COPENHAGEN: A Danish minister on Tuesday dismissed moves by Russia and Canada to assert sovereignty over the Arctic, saying territorial claims in the potentially resource-rich region could not be settled by flag-planting and political visits. The scramble for control of the Arctic intensified two weeks ago when Russia sent two submarines to plant a tiny national flag at the North Pole. Last week, Prime Minister Stephen Harper of Canada spent three days in the Canadian Arctic. Link |
