No attack on Cambodia: Thai commander

By Thai News Agency, The Nation

First Army Region Commander Lt Gen Udomdej Sitabutr on Wednesday dismissed reports that Thai troops will attack Cambodia on July 1.

He said the Thai military has a clear stance that it will not invade other countries. "We will retaliate only after being attacked first."

Gen Udomdej said the Cambodian military has moved infantry units closer to the border province of Sa Kaew, but there has been no report of reinforcement of armoured vehicles or heavy weapons.


However he has ordered his troops to step up security measures including a strict check on people and vehicles which approach the border checkpoint and sought negotiation to ease problems such as talks by the regional border committee earlier scheduled in April.

Thailand on Saturday announced its departure from the World Heritage Convention (WHC) at the WHC meeting in Paris, saying the World Heritage Committee failed to heed its request seeking postponement of Cambodia's unilaterallyproposed Preah Vihear temple management plan, as Thailand fears that it may threaten national sovereignty.

Ties between the neighbours have been strained since Preah Vihear temple was granted UN World Heritage status in July 2008.

Cambodia's Defence Ministry on Tuesday also denied that it has reinforced troops and weapons at the border with Thailand, China's Xinhua news agency reported.

The ministry also rejected the claim by Thailand's Army Region 2 spokesman Colonel Prawit Hookaew that there were some arms training such as grenade launcher and artillery taking place on Cambodian side.

On Monday, Col Prawit said that there was some redeployment and reinforcement of Cambodian troops along the border following Thailand's withdrawal of its membership from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Convention on Saturday.

"Royal Cambodian Armed Forces absolutely reject this badwilled fabrication by Thai troops to slander Cambodia and to prepare a scenario to intoxicate and lie to national and international communities," the ministry said in a statement. "This fabricated information by Thai troops is just a groundless argument in advance, aiming at attacking and invading Cambodian territory sometime in the future," it added.

11:22 PM, if there is a full scale war there will be no more bangkok. Khmer people can not wait for a full scale war. The only reason why Khmer soldiers didn't push Thai army back during the last clash is because of HUN SEN. If this was another leader your so called powerful army will be eating their own spy dogs for lunch.

Why don't you go and tell your lady boys government to invade Khmer now! Thai people talk too much. Let's do the walk the walk and talk the talk. We Khmer are waiting. We don't brag, we just do it. come in at your own risk!

To 11:22 PM,

I know you hate Hun Sen but please tell the thrust. As you know Thailand has not F15 EAGLE, A-10, M1-A1/M1-A2 M60-A1 like you said. Why? because USA don't sell for them despite Thailand has money to buy them, that is the US law.

The whole world knows how coward, Siem thugs are! Siem politicians are nothing but a bunch of childish. ha,ha,ha!!!! Never seen anything like this, walked out during WHC? Are you fucking kidding me? And still Siem thinks they're superior and want to bully its neighboring countries. Should be ashamed of yourself, Siem!
Anyway, it's not going to happen, if Siem thugs decided to launch a full scale of WAR against Cambodia. All the Khmer heroine spirits of Prasat Preah Vihear, Prasat Ta Krobey and Prasat Ta Moen, altogether will unite and shield all Siems advanced weapons not to land in Cambodia but in Bangkok. In addition, all spirits will be disguised themselves as magical king of lions, king of cobras, dragons and so on. Siem soldiers will be terrified and humbly surrendered without attacking. These are facts!!!!!!
May the spirits of all Prasats, please protect Cambodian people from harm!!!!

Vietnam will protect her two slaves:
Cambodia and Lao.
The Vietnam is the fifth army soldiers and weapons in the world.
The Vietnamese soldiers are in alert
to protect both of them.
The Yuon soldiers are hiding every-
where in Cambodia,even in Great Lake.
So,don't worry,Cambodia will become
a province of Vietnam like Champa
and Khmer Krom soon.
