Thomico: Prince Ranariddh will not scold negotiators with Funcinpec

Translated from Khmer by Socheata

On 17 June, Prince Thomico said that the negotiations with Funcinpec is a path to reach for a resolution for a return of Prince Ranariddh back to Cambodia, and that Prince Ranariddh is aware of the negotiations conducted with Funcinpec.

On 16 June, Muth Chantha, NRP spokesman, said that the NRP leadership called for an end to all official and unofficial negotiations with Funcinpec. He also pointed out the possible punishments to be given to Ok Socheat who was accused of negotiating with Funcinpec in order to find a way for Prince Ranariddh to return back to Cambodia.

Nevertheless, even if Muth Chantha raised the opposition to any negotiations with Funcinpec, Prince Thomico said: “Prince Ranariddh not only knew about it, he will not scold (anybody for doing this).”

Prince Thomico claimed that if there is no other resolution, Prince Ranariddh will have to face two choices: either leading his party from outside of Cambodia, or returning back to Cambodia through Funcinpec. Prince Thomico added that in reality, there was indeed an exchange of opinions (between NRP and Funcinpec), and this fact cannot be hidden. Prince Thomico said: “There has to be exchange of opinion if we want to find a resolution for Prince Ranariddh.” He said that if there is no negotiation, there is no resolution possible for Prince Ranariddh.

Nevertheless, Prince Thomico said that Ok Socheat is not part of the group that is negotiating (with Funcinpec) which he mentioned earlier. He explained that Ok Socheat is a former Funcinpec party member, therefore his meetings with his former Funcinpec colleagues cannot be construed as negotiations. The prince refused to name those involved in the negotiations with Funcinpec to look for a pardon for Prince Ranariddh.

Prince Thomico maintains his position of wanting to see a unification of all royalists, or more bluntly put, a merger of all the royalist parties. He said that this unification must include a resolution in Prince Ranariddh’s case. “We cannot talk about unification if we do not find a resolution for Prince Ranariddh,” Thomico said.

In order to reach for a pardon for Prince Ranairddh, Prince Thomico believes that this resolution must pass through Funcinpec.

At a time of internal strife within the NRP in its search for a resolution for Prince Ranariddh, Prince Thomico brushes off the party internal disagreements. He said that it is normal for a political party to have internal disputes, therefore, he does not pay attention to them.
