Thai military commanders have informed Cambodian military commanders that 5,000 Thais are planning to march to Preah Vihear temple on the 2nd anniversary of the inscription of the temple as a world heritage site, reports Kampuchea Thmey.
Preah Vihear, which was awarded to Cambodia by the International Court of Justice in 1962, was inscribed by Unesco as a world heritage site on 7th July 2008. A week later, hundreds of Thai troops invaded the surrounding areas and have stayed in the area ever since.
Gen. Chea Dara (pictured), Cambodian Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Chief of Operations of the Preah Vihear Command, told Kampuchea Thmey that he had warned the Thai side to contain the protesters on the Thai side of the border, saying that the Cambodian side will not tolerate any protesters who crossed on to the Cambodian side of the border. He said he had ordered all his commanders to do what it takes to defend Cambodian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Mr. Yim Pim, commander of Division 3 in the area, said, this time, his troops are ready to defend Cambodian territory with weapons, not riot gears. He warned that if Thai protesters crossed into Cambodian territory, armed clashes are unavoidable.
Cambodia plans to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the Preah Vihear inscription as a world heritage site tommorrow, the 7th of July. And the Cambodian civil society, notably Cambodian Watchdog Council led by the firebrand Rong Chhun, also plan to hold rallies across the capital on 15th July to condemn the Thai invasion of Preah Vihear.

Sofar,Thai troops are still occupying 4.6 Km2. This is equivalent of Thai spitting on the faces of the CPP leaders.
CPP are good at killing your own nation. Do you still believing in them?
Where is your slogan of not to lose your land even a cm2 ?
Chea Dara, I urge you to serve our nation not your traitor boss. He betrays our country.
Wake up before it too late. our country needs you. Be a hero.
You should live and die for a meaningful life. A life that a history recognise you not your boss.
See how much land is loss to Hanoi and the economy is sold to Hanoi to control.Our country could have been a rich country if we owned all the asset by ourselves.
Please open your eyes. our famers loss their land to Hanoi and Hun Sen put them in jail?. Where is justice?.
Wise man say, without justice there is no meaning for life although, you have seven stars on your promotion.
you see your own nation are be coming as a refugees in our own country?.
Tell me what are you living for?
True Khmer
It seems that Thailand is organizing this march/rally to show to the world that Cambodia is the invader, but in fact it the Thais who invaded Preah Vihear in 2008. Hun Sen and his government should allow Khmer patriots and nationalists to protest against the Thai occupation of Preah Vihear and chase out the 10 Thai soldiers who are stationed near Wat Keo Sekha Kiri Svarak pagoda. Seeing the way that Hun Sen deals with the issue of border disputes with Thailand I believe that parts of Preah Vihear areas and other border areas claimed by Thailand will be lost to Thailand.
To see Cambodia being chipped away on the east by Vietnam and on the west by Thailand is really sad.
