Cambodia rejects Thailand’s accusation that it receives third party help

Translated from Khmer by Socheata for Ki-Media

Cambodian government spokesman immediately rejects the nonsense words pronounced by one Thai MP who leveled the accusation that there is a third country waiting to help Cambodia in case of war. (Khmerization: Could this Thai MP is referring that third country to Vietnam?)

Sukhom Bariphat, a Thai MP from the opposition Democrat party and who is also a shadow minister, gave an interview on Thai TV channel 9 in the evening of 15 October where he said that there is an army from a third country which is interfering in Cambodia in order to help Cambodian troops conduct the war.

This baseless accusation was immediately rejected by the Cambodian government spokesman. Khieu Kanharith said that this is merely a dream-speech from a Thai MP, and that this is merely a distortion made against Cambodia.

In the past, Thailand, in particular, Thai opposition parties, have leveled all kinds of accusations against Cambodia, ever since Thailand was unable to prevent Cambodia from listing Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site. The accusation made by the Thai MP simply shows that Thailand itself is making use of the internationalization of its armed forces. This action is a trick to try to erase and hide Thailand’s shame.
