A group of Thai ultra-nationalists proclaimed that they plan to march to the Khmer-Thai border areas near Ta Moan Toch temple in Oddar Meanchey province on 2-3 May to uproot border posts that have been planted by a joint Khmer-Thai Border Committee, reports Kampuchea Thmey.
On 16th April, the Thai-language Matichon (People's Opinion) newspaper reported Mr. Veera Somkwamkid, leader of the Thai ultra-nationalist group, as saying that he plan to lead his group to Surin province on 1st of May. On 2-3 May, he will lead the group to Ta Moan Toch temple and uprooting the border posts which have planted by the Cambodian government and the Thai government led by Prime Minister Chuan Leekpai from the Democrat Party, presently led by Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva. Matichon quoted Mr. Veera as saying that the border posts were planted illegally by Mr. Chuan Leekpai's government because it did not submit the agreement with Cambodia to parliament for ratification, similar to the action taken by the Samak-Noppadon government in agreeing to inscribe the Preah Vihear temple with Unesco.
Mr. Var Kimhong, chairman of Cambodian Border Commission, warned the Thai ultra-nationalists against uprooting border posts planted by the Cambodian side by saying that the many Cambodian troops guarding the areas will take action against them. He said if they uproot the border posts planted by the Thai side, it is OK with Cambodia because those posts were planted in the wrong place. He said that both Khmer and Thai sides had agreed to plant two posts, one planted by the Thai side and another one planted by the Cambodian side in the area while the Khmer-Thai Border Commission is trying to locate Border Pillar number 23 planted by the Franco-Siamese Border Commission in 1907. Currently, Border Pillar No. 23 is missing.
Mr. Koy Kuong, spokesman for the Cambodian Foreign Ministry, said those Thai ultra-nationalists had violated international law if they uprooted those border posts because they were planted by both the Khmer and Thai border committees. He said the Thai government must take concrete measures to prevent the uprooting from happening. He added that Cambodian troops stationed in the area will make sure that the group cannot uproot the border posts in the area.
