BANGKOK, Jan 31 (MCOT online news) -- Thailand has demanded that Cambodia remove both the Keo Sikha Kiri Svara pagoda and the Cambodian flag flying over the pagoda while reasserting that the pagoda is in Thai territory.
The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday issued a statement asserting that Keo Sikha Kiri Svara pagoda built by Cambodia in 1998 is situated on Thai territory and demanded that the neighbouring country remove both the pagoda and the national flag flying over the pagoda.
The statement said it is a reiteration of the many protests Thailand has submitted regarding Cambodian activities at the pagoda and the surrounding area, all of which constitute violations of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Thailand.
The statement was issued days after Phnom Penh rejected a Thai demand to remove the Cambodian national flag, saying that the Cambodian flag is legitimate at the pagoda as it is situated inside Cambodia.
The Cambodian government earlier reiterated that Keo Sikha Kiri Svara pagoda, nearby Preah Vihear, is clearly situated within the territory of Cambodia according to the map drawn by the Franco-Siamese Commission in 1908.
The Thai ministry of foreign affairs added that according to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Thailand and Cambodia on the Survey and Demarcation of Land Boundary of 2000, the 1904 and 1907 Treaties and “other documents relating to the application” of both treaties are the relevant legal documents to determine the boundary line.
Thailand therefore does not accept the assertion by Cambodia that the 1:200,000 Map is the basis for determining the boundary, it said.
The ministry also reaffirmed Thailand’s commitment to resolving all boundary issues with Cambodia in accordance with international law through peaceful means under the framework of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission on Demarcation for the Land Boundary (JBC). The determination of the boundary line in the area of the Temple of Preah Vihear is still subject to ongoing negotiation under the framework of the JBC.

why Ah Hun Sen is quiet about this matters, this stupid Hun only bark for nothing.
To force yourself to draw the map, A Siem will end up taking half of Cambodia. west of the Mekong River to A Siem and east of the Mekong River to A Youn.
In the near future, the Khmer kingdom become like Monaco, 2 km ² territory.
Khmer People continue to suffer and the A Hun Sen's government continues to grow.
Siem should pack and move back to their ancestral homeland in Nanchao!
All of Thailand belongs to Cambodia!
Hun Sen is a Ph.D. Checken with Thailand, and he is a Ph.D. slavery of Youn. He is a King Betrayer of Cambodian People.

Red-Ant.
If Hun Sen is quiet, who sent the reinforcement to the border, your father?
In the world there are many countries big and small, strong and weak which coexist side by side.
To prevent the big and strong ones to harass or encroach the small and weak ones, they have created the UN so that these countries can coexist in peace.
The current stupid Cambodian gov’t which is not willing to use the UN to solve the present conflict with the neighboring countries is beyond the majority of the Cambodian people’s comprehension.
The current situation in Tunisia and Egypt is about the corruption, high unemployment and lack of free presses, but not about the ceding land to the neighboring countries.
Cambodia has them all, but its submissive population is willing to live like a flock of sheep.

Come on Thai let’s have a war. We know you, the yellow shirts, use Cambodia as a scapegoat to achieve your political goal. Heh many thanks, you might also give the Cambodian the opportunity for an uprising to topple Hun Sen, the barking CHIHUAHUA.
So let’s have a real war shall we, don’t just make noise. Besides a few thousand deaths on both sides, it will be a win, win situation for the yellow shirts and the oppressed Cambodian people who hate Hun Sen.
I am not on Hun Sen side, but to be fair judgementally, Hun Sen is scrutinizing the border conflicts carefully and wait to act if the war started. He is already prepared by sending troops and heavy weapons there. If the Khmer troops have advatage when the war started, it would be a strong message sending to Thailand to stop harrassing and looking down on Cambodia, but if Thailand has advantage, Hun Sen could call the UN to help out. Simultaneously, the UN may call the meeting to oversee Cambodia's boundaries along with Vietnam also.
ThaiLand is doing the right things.
As long as Cambodia has VIOLATED the 23 October 1991 peace Agreement
Thailand has the rights to do so...
If Vietnam can do Thailand and Laos can do too.
There is nothing wrong with that, due to PARIS PEACE AGREEMENT.
I say Thailand's doing the great job!
Invade as much as Thai can do....
If Viet can do same as Thai and Laos, doing their part.
Thank You Thai...
I agreed with Mr 3:17 AM
Dear Dr. Hun Sen and Ten Thousands stars Dr. Hun Manet,
Why do you and your relatives give Kos Trol, sea and lands to Vietnam? Why? and Why?
Why do you and all of your relatives involve a lot of murder cases in Cambodia? Why? Why?
Why do you murder Cambodian K5, 1997 events and so on and so on with lost count? Why?
If you are so good why do you and your families murder Cambodians? Why? And Why?
If you are so good, why do above 90% Cambodians are so poor but you and your relatives are billionaires and millionaires? Why? Why?
Why do you try to kill people from telling the true? Why? Why?
What is the difference from Khmer Rough and you, Sir?
If you are so good why do you block KI from Cambodians?
If you are so good, why do you steal all Cambodian life such as well being, health, cut down Cambodians life expectancy as well? But you and your small group are eat well, sleep well, exercise well, have oversea doctors and best medical treatment from high class private doctors from oversea. Most Cambodians that have no money, your healthcare system left Cambodians patients to die in front of your hospital. Why? Why?
If you are so good why more than 6 millions Vietnamese are living permanently in Cambodia, right now? Why, Dr. Hen Sen? And Why
Everywhere, I walk in Cambodia I see Vietnamese speak Vietnamese every where, why? Why?
Don't you and your families scare of hell for eternity?
When you die can you bring all of your power and money with you?
Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Big ass lady and his beloved Dr. Hun Manet Please don't put us in jail or kill us for this! We want to live like you and your families do!
Khmers victim of 1997 and K5
PS
If Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet remove the tablet it is show they are extremely coward and his star are just joy stars given by his daddy not by patriotism. Dr. Hun Manet is very coward as his daddy they only aim to kill innocent Cambodians that all. Dr. Hun SEn and Dr. ten stars Hun Manet are very great at bullying Cambodians and killing Cambodians but cowardly toward Thai and Viet.
CPP are not just corrupted, CPP are extremely corrupt. They are even sell the country such as Kos Trol, Seas, lands, Cambodian people, Cambodian health and well being, all resources in the Cambodia…with lost count. You name it!
Seriously where is the win win policy of Dr. Hun Sen represent? The country is getting smaller and smaller and shame by Dr. Hun Sen and Dr. Hun Manet and his families, his relatives and friends.
