Press Release
- Statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand concerning the continuing violation of Thailand’s sovereignty and territorial integrity by Cambodia
February 16, 2011
With regard to the recent unprovoked armed attack on 15 - 16 February 2011 by Cambodian troops on Thai soldiers, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand wishes to state the following facts:
1. From 20.00 hours of 15 February 2011 to 03.00 hours of 16 February 2011, Cambodian troops launched hand grenades and opened fire, without any provocation, at Thai troops stationed on Phu Makua in Thai territory using rifles and rocket propelled grenades which resulted in the serious injury of one Thai soldier.
2. In addition to violating Thailand’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, the aforementioned armed attack by Cambodian troops illustrated Cambodia’s intention to defy the suggestion of the United Nations Security Council, which contained in the Press Statement dated 14 February 2011, urging the two countries “to display maximum restraint and avoid any action that may aggravate the situation…and to establish a permanent ceasefire”.
3. Thailand reaffirms its position that, in all these incidents, the Thai side has never opened fire first and has always exercised maximum restraint.
4. Despite the unprovoked armed attack by Cambodia, Thailand reaffirms its commitment to resolve any pending boundary issues peacefully through existing bilateral mechanisms and awaits Cambodia’s acceptance to Thailand’s proposal to host the next meeting of the Thai-Cambodian Joint Commission on Demarcation for Land Boundary (JBC) at the earliest opportunity.
5. In addition, Thailand appreciates the support and encouragement from the ASEAN family for any bilateral process, and looks forward to the success of the ASEAN Foreign Ministers' Informal Meeting on 22 February 2011.

Why do Kos Trol, sea and lands proximately over 10 000 km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty? Why don't Cambodia goverment transparency explain to cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian army are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 and what's about over 10 000km2 of cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian army you are decide the fade of your nation, Cambodian army as well as cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Kos Trol, Sea and lands over 10 000km2 have been lost to Vietnam by who treaty at 1979 to 1985 treaty! treaty! Cambodian army at front line as well as all cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protect a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group rather in the real name of protecting khmer nation?
Cambodian army at front line suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs,lack of foods, lack of nutrition, their families have no health care help, no securities after they die but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning with young girls message, have super health care from oversea medical treatment, they are billionairs, millionairs who sell out the country to be rich and make cambodian people suffer everyday as cambodian people know already.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that result lost over 10 000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why don't they transparency inform all Cambodian and cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't include Kos Trol ( Kos Trol size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen with planty of natural resources ) in education
Smart Khmer Girl Ms.Rattana Keo,
Dream on boy
These Thais are out of their mind....they are on ice....it's not even worth the paper it's written on......to fight with these shameless people you have to be ruthless but smart in approach and tactics......
Thailand has been violating Cambodian sovereignty for centuries. Actually entire Thailand were Cambodia, ask any scholars around the world but thais. Not only territory but also language, culture and art. Thailand was and is a terrorism state.
The wave of Thai MFA

heart.Let yours let

Only Thailand would want a war in order to seek its national popularity which was lost during the Red Shirts crisis.
