Phnom Penh - Cambodia denied allegations Sunday that it had asked for UN intervention in a border dispute with Thailand, and said it still hoped to settle the matter bilaterally through diplomatic channels.
'Thailand's claims we have asked for United Nations intervention over Preah Vihear are wrong. Our mission in New York has sent a letter (to the UN) advising on the situation, but Prime Minister Hun Sen wants to settle the matter directly with Thailand,' government spokesman Khieu Kanharith said.
The two sides are gearing up for talks in Thailand Monday in the dispute over 4.6 kilometres of land surrounding the 11th-century border temple of Preah Vihear that was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site this month.
Thailand objected to the listing, and tensions boiled over Tuesday and have continued to escalate.
Cambodia says Thai troops have entered its territory, but Thailand maintains that hundreds of its soldiers are in undefined territory that does not legally belong to Cambodia.
'We are optimistic that Monday's talks may solve some issues - let's wait and see,' Kanharith said.
He declined comment on reports the border standoff between more than 1,000 troops from both sides was worsening, or that Thailand had begun moving in heavy artillery on the eve of the talks.
'Let's just focus on the talks,' he said.
Cambodian state television station TVK aired extensive footage Saturday night of an international delegation's visit to the temple, including the Chinese and Vietnamese military attaches to Cambodia.
The Vietnamese wore full military uniform.

So, what? fucckk you, KI. Other countries' attaches were in full military uniform too. Don't try to get credit for Xam Rainxy Party, you idiot.
I'm not CPP supporter, but in such a circumstances, don't try to attract people with such nonsense things.
Hey! 9:32PM,
If you're not a CPP supporter, why are you irritated by this post?
Stay calm, man!
I told you that KI is fooling around with Voters' minds.
KI is SRP's supporter but makes so many shits lately such as some women made stupid comments about Khmer PHV. I begin to wonder KI really serves SRP or Siam our enemy's side interests.
I am too not CPP's supporter but I am wondering why under such critical situation while Siam invading Khmer land KI brings sensitive article to burn the house?
9:44,yeah, you are right. but let's forgive them. KI is created by just copying and pasting the articles from the mews papers and sometimes KI illegally edits the articles. ...shit
KI is mass media.It can say whatever it want ,and all you idiots motherfuckers have to do is back off.
KI mass media my azz. KI is supporting Sam Rainsy and siding with ah Thai Pol Pot.
Siding with ah Thai POLPOT my ass,just be quiet and hang yourself.
What a rude language for those who pretend Khmer.
If you don't like KI and find it support the patriot Sam Rainsy , stop visit its blog.
Bye bye!
Dear kone Khmers
Don't pay attention too much of some comments yuon-thai-xen. They want to divide us.
Support Sam rainsy means support Khmer prosperity.

1:32 AM,
You're right!
Did the Vietminh attache brought his rocket propeller?
Thank God that he didn't start singing Vietcong national anthem when he got out of the helicopter.
That would be something.
Who let him it in the helicopter anyway???
i think it is good that cambodia drew the UN to the crisis. don't we all know that thailand's weakness is with the UN and international law as they are good with bullying only the poor and innocent civilian of cambodia. however, it they have to answer and deal with the UN and the international law, they know they will lose automatically without cambodia even fire one shot. trust me, the way i see it is the UN is the god that will serve cambodia well in this case with thailand. thailand has no chance, not even a tiny one. go cambodia go!!!! full speed ahead to the UN and the international law and don't stop to look back. this is really our weapon of justice. remember the UN consist of many, many nations, not just vietnam or whatever politicizing the other group wants to call it. think outside of the box for a good cause and a good change, of course. god bless cambodia.
khmer people like me can't stand it when someone uses the vietnamese as the only source in the UN agenda. look, the UN consists of many nation, and the vietnamese attache is only a tiny part of the UN body, so stop magnifying only the vietnamese or whatever. the UN is the superpower that can put out the burning fire anywhere in the world. god bless cambodia.
this ki media is goood for all people who don't has any access to the fair and justice media of the khmer government,hun sen jia sim heng samrin.....
Sure, on planet of the Apes.
Now people can you understand this incident: when the thieves or burglars are all in your house, what are u gonaa do about it? Negotiate with them? beg them to leave? or you just smoooke them and arrest them? Tell me motherfuckers! Now read this:
Now you want to play this political card? Ok so here's the scenario: Perhaps you know you will gain some part of the territory coz you have
know that based on the ICJ'S VERDICT AND THE FRANCO-A SIAM BASTARD-TREATY, YOU MORON STUPID THAIS WILL NVER HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE. Or coz you base your invasion on any treaties signed by FOOLISH AND CORRUPTED POEPLE IN CAMBODIA GOVERNMENT, SO THAT'S WHY YOU ARE SO SURE TO WIN THE CASE. OR YOU WILL RELEASE THE SECRET THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF CAM DOES NOT WANT THE PUBLIC TO HEAR AS FOR YOUR WINNING TOOLS? OR TO PROVE THAT SAMAK GOVERNMENT HAS MADE WRONG DECISION WITH THE PREAH VIHEAR TEMPLE AND TOPPLE THE GOVERNMENT?
Now WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY AH THAI CHKOUT?
KHMER EMPIRE
Now Thai Ah Chkout just vanish from Cambodia soil, will ya?
No, Thai can't abandon its village, school, market, clinic, and give everything to the invading monkeys from Cambodia. You got nothing in that area. You get your fucking asses back to where you came from now, or we'll blow your brain out all over Preah Vihear walls and floors.
Ooo we are so afraid of Youn. lol
What a two-head snake you are.
Go Thai!!!!!Go shooting Vietcong and CPP. Let test our strenght...and take over our belongings, Phrea Vihea, and Angkor Wat. We knew that Hun Sen and his people were divided into so many parties, they like to screw one another. If we go to war with Hun Sen, the parties that against Hun Sen will side with us.
Go shooting......until we can declare our victory on our land, Seim Reap, Battambang, Preah Vihea and Utdomeanchey.
