Hun Sen and Noppadon Pattama (cutting the ribbon)Cambodia presents new map of Preah Vihear

By Supalak G Khundee The Nation (Thailand)
Cambodia's new annexe map for a proposal to list the Hindu temple of Preah Vihear as a World Heritage Site does not claim 4.6 square kilometres of overlapping territory, Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama said Friday.
Following an agreement between the two countries in Paris last month to list only the temple itself as a heritage site, Phnom Penh on Thursday sent the new map to Bangkok for consideration.
"I have seen the map, which makes clear that Cambodia no longer claims the overlapping downhill area as part of the temple for the World Heritage Site," Noppadon said in a press briefing.
However, the Supreme Command's Royal Thai Survey Department will use satellite imaging to verify the map and location on the ground, he added.
If there is no objection, the National Security Council and the Cabinet will endorse the map and respond to Phnom Penh within a week, enabling Cambodia to send its proposal to the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation by the middle of this month.
Unesco's World Heritage Committee will make a final decision on the proposal at a meeting in Canada in July.
Though Cambodia won its claim to Preah Vihear Temple in the International Court of Justice in 1962, its proposal to list the temple as a Unesco heritage site was opposed by Thailand because the map appended by Phnom Penh showed an area claimed by both countries as part of the temple site.
The agreement reached by Noppadon and Cambodian Deputy Prime Minister Sok An in Paris will end not only conflict with Cambodia but also allegations made by street protesters that the foreign minister might cause Thailand to lose its territory.
"It's a win-win solution: we maintain good relations with Cambodia and retain sovereignty over the territory," Noppadon said.

Ah Hun Sen exange Khmer Land & Sea with The neighbors Thieves for his personal friendship.
He is a traitor ever in front of Millions Khmer's eyes.
May god save Khmer land!
Cambodian is long for the right Leader to protect her country. Where is the real Cambodian nationalist? Why do we let our lands go inch/inches, meter/meters, kilometer/kilometers to the neighbors around us? Why??? Come on HUN SEN, don't just bark to your own people!!!!!!!!!!!! Turn your head around and bite those two greedy neighbors!!
HUN SEN he affraid that Ex SIEM priminster would'nt play golf with him , that why he do what ever SIEM leader tell him to do..Next if SIEM offer him some SIEM CHICK he gonna give ,BTTAMBON, SIEM RIEP to SIEM too..
DUMP leader WHY KHMER allway have a DUMP , COWARD and greedy for power leader...
This is unspeakable!
AH HUN SEN takes Cambodia as his personal property and he can do whatever he wants with it! There are more treaties signed by AH HUN SEN with Cambodian archenemies than any other Cambodian leaders in the history of Cambodia!
Now the archenemy of Cambodia can knock on the Cambodian door anytime and make stupid Cambodian leaders sign more treaties to take Khmer land! It doesn't take much nowadays and only paper and ink and Khmer land can be taken at the blink of an eye!
Cambodia is the Thaicong bitch now and this is the win-win policy of the Thaicong! It is time to destroy Cambodia before AH HUN SEN destroys it all!
With this compromise with Thailand , we lost our land around Preah Vihear. It is very sad. The world court decision for Preah Vihear based on 1904-07 France-Siam treaty said this land around Preah Vihear is Khmer. Watch out Thai will not recognize other parts of our border which are based on the 1904-07 treaty as well. Since the 1950's under Sarith Thanarat Thailand never recognizes Cambodia's border. He said the 1904-1907 treaty is an unequal treaty forced on Thailand by France.
AH HUN SEN had benefit so much from the Thaicong in dealing with the Khmer Rouge in the late 1980 and now it is pay back time! It seems that AH HUN SEN is dying to make peace with Cambodian archenemies as long as Cambodia becomes his personal property!
The irrational of AH HUN SEN behavior will affect the psyche of Cambodian leaders for many generations to come and it will get worse than this if Cambodian people don't call to an end of AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave regime!
I like to believe that when Cambodian people born to this world and Cambodian people have the power to change their destiny but all that I am seeing right now is that the Cambodian archenemies are changing Cambodian people destiny at will under AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave dictatorship
! Why must Cambodian people continue to live under a very stupid leader like AH HUN SEN! Why must Cambodian people continue to take all the fucken bullshit from AH HUN SEN! Why must Cambodian people allow AH HUN SEN to abuse, to disrespect, and to intimidate them? It is time to disown AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave mother fucker!
I know it is very scary for Cambodian people to make a change because of the unknown but it is by nature that demands Cambodian people to make a change! Those Cambodian people who fail to make a change will die out!
Vote out AH HUN SEN mother fucker!
Cambodia is moving in the right direction. We must deported all Ah Khmer-Yuon back to Vietnam or India if Vietnam don't want them in their land.
Only a stupid fool who believe in the Thaicong theory and logic!
I want to know why did the fucken Thaicong allowed the Khmer King to built Khmer Phrea Vihear temple in the first place if the fucken lands belong to the Thaicong!
Cambodia is on the way to commit economic prostitution for the Thaicong government! It is very fashionable nowadays for Cambodian leaders to compete with each others to commit economic prostitution for the Thaicong and the Vietcong government because Cambodia leaders are so stupid and they even know what to do! All of you stupid Cambodian and you just spread your leg and don’t scream! Talking about fresh meat! Ahhahahhahahhahahahaha
Hey stop trying to steal the Khmer-Thai's Temple, Ah Khmercong(3:11)!
fucking thaincong and Ah Hun sen motherfucker.
I am not surprised with a h choi marai slave of yuon . Remember any white zone or overlapping land always end up in the hands of the yuon or siam.
WE are playing inito the siem trick, trick after trick, khmer never learn. it is hard when you have one eye to see.
yuon or siem slave wouldn't give
shit about khmer interests.
Cut the crap, Ah Pleu. The truth is you idiot is trying to rip off the Khmer-Thai of their share of the temple because you think they are stupid and you are sooo smart with US education and all. Isn't that so?
To 8:52AM
There is no such thing as Khmer-Thaicong because the Khmer were there way before the Thaicong came from China!
This is for first time that I heard that Khmer are willing to fight another Khmer just to be with the Thaicong? This is insane!
I certainly don't see any of the so called Khmer-Thaicong who are fighting over the Khmer Phrea Vihear temple! But I do see the fucken Thaicong government officials who are doing all the fucken fighting to steal more Khmer land!
You and your fucken Thaicong theory and logic are for a fool like AH HUN SEN Vietcong slave mother fucker!
Well, Khmer is fighting Khmer for Cambodia right now, aren't they?
One side allied with Yuon, and the other side allied with Infidel. Don't you see it?
At any rate, there are over 20 millions Khmer-Thai in Thailand and you can't cut them off from their inheritance by calling them Thaicong. They can do the same thing by calling you Khmercong and cut you off from the inheritance too, you know?
preah vihear temple and the 4.6 sq km area are two separate issue, here. cambodia prepared new map to show that our preah vihear temple is separate from the disputed area stated and this disputed area still needs to demarcate properly so cambodia as well can agree to it as well; it's just not all about thailand only, don't forget cambodia has interest in this as well. god bless cambodia.
There no such thing as Khmer-Thai and there is no such thing as Khmer-Youn! But there are Khmer Krom, Khmer Leu, and Khmer Kandal, and there are Khmer Surin, Khmer Buriram, and Khmer Srisaket...in Thailame!
