BANGKOK, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Sunday said Thai soldiers exchanged firing with Cambodians as they needed to protect the country's sovereignty.
"When there was an attack on Thai territory, we needed to protect our sovereignty and returned the firing," Abhisit said in his weekly national televised address.
"Our counter-attack has entirely aimed at military targets," he said. "We fired back to where it was fired from."
The premier said Thailand had no intention to invade any other country first.
Thai and Cambodian soldiers exchanged heavy-gun firing for a few hours on Friday afternoon and for another half an hour on Saturday morning as both countries claim a disputed area near the World Heritage's Preah Vihear temple
The clashes inflicted some casualties on both sides.
Senior army officers of the two countries met on Saturday and agreed on a truce. The border area remained peaceful on Sunday and some Thai villages have left a shelter provided by local authorities during the clashes to return to their homes.
Abhisit reaffirmed that his government could not accept the three demands set by the "yellow-shirt" People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), whose supporters have been rallying near the Government House in Bangkok calling for the scrapping of an existing memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between Thailand and Cambodia in 2000 as the framework for settling the two countries' disputed border areas.
The PAD also wants the government to move out Cambodians who are occupying the disputed areas, and Thailand to pull out as a party to the World Heritage Convention.
The premier said without the MOU, there would be no mechanism for the two nations to settle their border disputes, while pulling out of the World Heritage Convention will allow Cambodia to move ahead with its plan to administer the disputed areas around the Preah Vihear temple.
Abhisit told reporters after his broadcast that he preferred to pursue a settlement with Cambodia bilaterally and refused to accept any intervention by the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), a regional body to which both countries are members, or any other multilateral bodies.

I used to be like that many many years ago between YUON and Khmer .
Ah AbpiSHIT talk like baby, Ah shit head, doesn't know what is he doing now, Ah crazy Siam army, ran for their life, now you talk like shit. Ah Siam TV twisted the stories about the dead of Siam army, what's an idiot nation.
Why this country changed the name almost every day, from Siam to Thailand, because the leader of Thailand just want the country for Thai (like Hitler -Germany just for German) and not for others people.
Thai knew very well, the war between Thailand and Cambodia, Thai will win. Thai have some advantages and can attack Cambodia any time without thinking of loss the innocent people life. And Thai did not care about the Temples. All the Khmer Temple mean nothing for them. It is not their own culture heritage.
Cambodia have no choice. Cambodia but have to protect the country sovereignty, Prasat Preah Vihear and of course the life of the innocent people live on the border. On these areas of the border of both side live almost Khmer and not Thai.
thailand has become the virus of Indochina thus must be quarantined or completely deleted. It Royal Institution must be completely reformatted or at best deconstructed

It cannot be accepted with recent escalation at the border. I wish the government to take tougher action and seek international community for help. We should not wait for the war that cause human life and national resource.

War have broke out again on 6 Sunday 2011 where are KI update team?
Must capture or kill Thais invaders and send to Cambodia marshal court or military court, and push further to take control over the border of French indochinese-siem of 1904 and 1907.
Must destroy Thais base and bunkers before make negotiation, this time must be government to government only.
These poor people have the Siam to thank for their hardship.
The Siam leech are itching to suck more blood.
The only way to get rid of leeches is to burn them.
The US should think twice about selling arms to an irresponsible country like Thailand.
The Thai military killed its own civilian in May of 2010, and the now the Thai military is aggressively pushing its weigh around.
This Abishit guy is an idiot!
Third party negotiation, what is Thailand afraid of???
Khmer government, please don't deal with these Siam motherfucker anymore. Let other ASEAN member help settle this dispute; if that don't work, take them to the world court again to clarify the 4.6 km of land. Otherwise, there will be another clash in the near future.
There's no other way to solve it. Thailand is playing dirty politic and prolong this as long as possible to buy more time.
before: Nambodia
currently: Thaibodia
tomorrow: Khao-I-Dang II
future: SENVARMAN
Thailand is the Taliban of Southeast Asia! They are destroying the Khmer-Hindu temple and show no respect for Hindu religion! No peace to Thailand!
Thais should stop their stupidity by holding back their force. Saving Khmer people's life means sacrificing their own. So rather that they better donate them coffins instead.
Those poor Thai civilians in the picture looks just like Cambodian.
Sad to see that the civilian both sides caught up during the fighting.
Thai government doesn't care about these poor people at all and if they said they care, why are they invading Cambodia for? Withdraw your troop and make peace with Cambodia now and its for the sack of both side of the people.
