WASHINGTON, July 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- ATFA launched a new website – www.factcheckArgentina.org - to serve as a resource to "fact check" myths being portrayed by the Argentine Government in the debt dispute with U.S. creditors.

In a blog post on the website, ATFA cautions that recent statements at an Organization of American States (OAS) meeting by Argentine Economy Minister Axel Kicillof seem to lay the groundwork for Argentina's intentions to default, and that rather than negotiate, Argentina's leaders seem more focused on disparaging U.S. courts.

Check out the new website here, and follow ATFA on Twitter at @atfargentina.
