Cambodian oppositions insisted again that Cambodia seek international help in resolving its border problems with Thailand by saying that bilateral talks give Cambodia a disadvantage edge, reports Radio Free Asia.
Mr. Sam Rainsy (pictured), leader of the Sam Rainsy Party, Cambodia's biggest opposition party, said that past bilateral talks did not yield any results and the border situations remain tense and volatile.
He said: "Months of talks did not yield any results and the problems still continue. I still believe that Cambodian territorial integrity can be guaranteed only when we fully implement the 1991 Paris Peace Accords which was signed by 18 other countries (Thailand included) and which guarantees the territorial integrity of Cambodia."
Mr. Kem Sokha, leader of the opposition Human Right Party, agreed by saying that the bilateral talks give Cambodian a disadvantage edge. He said: "We saw that the Preah Vihear problems is still the same. Our Cambodian government should not allow itself to bel led by the nose by Thailand because our country has sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity and then there is international laws. We must warn Thailand stronger than we have done. We must seek remedies from international laws."
Mr. Phay Siphan, spokesman for the Council of Ministers, disagreed with the oppositions by criticising the oppositions for being too pessemistic. He said: "What the Joint Boundary Commision discussed were about technical issues only. This Commission is a technical commission and therefore it cannot discuss about the military aspects. But they discussed about the planting of the border pillars and discussed about demilitarising the Preah Vihear areas."
The JBC meeting is reportedly to have made some progress but reports on the ground from Preah Vihear is that the military situations remained tense.
