Whatever Mr. HOR NAM HONG angrily denied, Mr. Hun Sen already cancelled his visit to Prasat Ta Moan Thom because of Thai army, which Thailand demanded Cambodian not to carry gun if Mr. Hun Sen wishes to visit this temple and Thailand has normally decleard this temple is in its territory.
The cancellation means that Mr. Hun Sen is also scared of Thailand and he has no enough power to control and visit this 50% territory.
I agree. Whether Hun Sen sent Khan Savoeun to negotiate with Thais or not is not important. The important thing is Thais control the temple and Hun Sen needs Thai permission to visit the temple. His bodyguards were not allowed to carry the weapons that's why Hun Sen didn't dare to visit the temple. Who to blame? It is Hun Sen because he didn't deploy enough troops to defend Cambodia's borders in the first place. Now Cambodian temple is controlled by the Thais. Hun Sen is humiliated. He deserved it!
