Translated from Khmer by Khmerization
Mr. Khieu Kanharith (pictured), Cambodia’s Minister of Information and government spokesman, has told reporters that the Thai Foreign Ministry and the newly-appointed Thai Foreign Minister have said that the Khmer-Thai border disputes in the areas around the Preah Vihear temple will be resolved in accordance with the maps of the 1904-1907 Khmer-Thai border treaty and in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two countries in 2000. Mr. Kanharith said that the new border talk has not been rescheduled yet because the red-shirted protesters (Thaksin ’s supporters) have accused the new government of hypocrisy, of doing the same thing as the previous government, regarding border issues.
At the same time, Mr. Kanharith said that the Cambodian government has chosen the best option, and that is bilateral talks, in order to avoid an all out war because wars have brought great loss and misery to our country in the past. He said that even if Cambodia complains to the UN, they will tell Cambodia and Thailand to come back to resolve the issues through peaceful means. The minister added that, Cambodia still can complain to the UN if Thailand invaded Cambodian territories. As for ASEAN, they have told Cambodia and Thailand to continue bilateral talks, he said.
Regarding lodging a complaint to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Mr. Kanharith said that Cambodia cannot bring the matter to ICJ if Thailand does not agree because this is the sovereignty of a country.
According to sources, in January 2009, the Khmer-Thai Joint Boundary Commission will hold talks in Thailand and then in Preah Vihear areas. Cambodian and Thai negotiators have reached an agreement in previous talks but the agreement needs the approval of the Thai parliament. The next talks were scheduled to take place in early December to finalise the agreement, but due to political crisis in Thailand, the Thai parliament was unable to approve the agreement.
Political observers said that many talks on the 5-months long disputes have resulted in little progress because of the prolonged political crisis in Thailand. They said that as a result, Cambodia has become the hostage of the repeated Thai internal political crises.

really famous blog, you really share to all Khmer around the world
It seems that this incompetent Kanharith is singing different tunes all the time. Before he said Cambodia will take Thailand to court if talks fail. Now he is saying that Cambodia can't take Thailand to court because Thailand doesn't agree. What the heck are you talking about, Kanharith? Contradicting yourself all the times.
(The minister added that, Cambodia still can complain to the UN if Thailand invaded Cambodian territories), what's the hell this guy try to say?, So about 5 months that the black dog-Siam army uniform invaded Cambodia territories, does not call INVADED?. Why we all saying from the first day that Siam invaded us? Mr.Kanharith, I think you Mr. Kanharith still drunk!
This minister, Mr.Kanharith, are talking shit, he just got out from the bar own by Viet girls.
May Buddha Srey Aar Metrey bless all people to live in peace,Independence and Real justice.

All the poor,
Stand up against the yellow- shirt elites.
Pure Democracy does not seperate the poor farmers from the elites. We are equal by law and by nature. We are also human beings.
The elites can only survive with the poor. They can enjoy the live of elites because of the poor Thais.
STAND UP ! STAND UP ALL THE RED-SHIRT POOR.

Overseas and pro-American Khmers share the blame for Thai aggression. They express objection to the Siams' actions but continue to contribute their tax money to pay for the F15's and modern weapons that the Siams are using to intimidate our people.
It's just like the Israeli-Palestinian situation. American tax dollars help fund the Jewish occupation and killing of Palestinians.
Khmer people need to realize that we are the Palestinians of this conflict. At least most Arabs side with Palestinians and against the Westerners. Khmer people from all over the world need to show the same unity.
Can you put your money where your mouth is? I don't think Lao Mong Hay, the KI-Media, Sichan Siv, Seng Theary, and Sam Rainsy can.

All -
I only post as "Khmer Patriot, Ph.D.". Do not confuse me with any other individuals.
As for those of you who cursed me, I will not curse you back. I have told you that I will not stoop to your level. I am an academic and am not at all amused by all the puerile name-calling and other abusive behaviors on this site.
I welcome civil and educated exchanges based on facts and reasoning.
It's apparent that the Ki-media team and Lao Mong Hay do not have the mental capacities to answer my challenges.
As for those of you who supported me and who nominated me to be KI-Media's resident intellectual, I accept. I am flattered by your nomination and promise to conduct myself with the utmost professionalism consistent with my academic credentials.

Before just yellow, now red and next will be water in red, red blew out from all Siam's body. Red shirt must fight for your right! Yellow was a shit shirt liar!
This two red, yellow shit shirt Thai are trying their best to fight each other but in their plane is to take some thing from Cambodia, land or temples or sharing the money from the Khmer temples.
Khmer must not give Thai any thing, Khmer must protect our land, our temples.

My Beloved Khmer Compatriots,
As you may have observed, Thai monarchy appears to be heading to the end and King Bhumibol could be the last monarch to rule in Thailand. For many Thais, King Bhumibol in the past used to be a brilliant and diligent monarch who worked tirelessly to steer his country on the road to stability and prosperity, and for that he earned and commanded utmost loyalty and respect from all of his subjects – old, young, rich and poor. But that was then, not any more. The latest red shirt or pro-Thaksin protest is a clear sign of people’s opposition to King Bhumibol’s wish. As to his successor, Crown Prince Vijiralongkorn was viewed by many Thais as an unresolved and uninspired royalty who is unfit to rule the kingdom. Some Thais even secretly surname Vijiralongkorn as Prince of Womanizing or “coureur de jupon”.
Thai society is these days is polarized and divided. That division is expected to intensify after the passing of the current King. It is prudent for us not to be dragged into Thai internal politics. As far as we’re concerned the Preah Vihear issue is closed, don’t be distracted by claims and political statements made by Thai politicians. Our priority right now is to reduce the dependence of our tourist industry on Thai airports. We should work to promote the direct flights to Phnom Penh from airports in other South East Asean countries.

It's just sad that these Ph.D from Hanoi are now eating up by AIDS. But luckily they found KI-Media as a home to vent out or it would be a very very slow death for them. Well my friends Ph.D from Hanoi - too much and too many of "Lam Tuy" can be very deadly to your life...
May you all soon rest in peace!!!

Kanharith and Hun Sen are playing games with Khmer territories. The Thais invaded Khmer territories more than 5 months already and they did very little to get our territories back. These corrupt leaders are ignorant and don't know how to solve our border problems. They only care about their powers. The Thais will keep all these territories, just wait and see, because these corrupt and incompetent leaders don't care about the borders.
There is no such thing as Cambodia's territory along the edge of the mountain. The entire mountain belong to Khmer on the mountain since day1.
The last sentence doesn't make any sense at all.

Yes, they only care about their powers and money. I can't understand why Kanharith said Cambodia need to get Thai agreement before we can take the matter to court. Cambodia don't need Thai agreement. Cambodia can sue Thailand anytime.

Agree with 8:28! i think this government is playing games with thailand, they just screws us left and right that's what they doiong!!
corrupted government..
Just look at AH Khieu Kanharith's picture, as he gets older and his nose is so close to his upper lip which deprives oxygen to his brain that explain why his speeches are very confusing and flip-flop!
I couldn't believe when he said that in event that Thailand invades Cambodia and Cambodia would requires around 17,000 to 20,000 troops. I thought Cambodian military issue should be kept secret which declare by AH HUN SEN and why all of sudden AH Kanharith made public about Cambodian military strength to the enemy?
Oh well AH Kanarith said one thing and AH HUN SEN said another thing! Are they both live on different planet? Just the same old bullshit by AH Kiev Kanharith and AH HUN SEN!
Good governance serves the interest of the people; that is to retreat from lands that belong to Khmer on the mountain and preserve peace with the neighboring countries.
