PM Hun Xen considers the Thai government as thieves who attempt to take Preah Vihear temple and make it theirs. Regarding this problem, the Cambodian government has already prepared all the documents to complain to the UN Security Council.
Hun Xen’s declaration was made during the 12th Cultural Day celebration which was titled “The revere Preah Vihear temple is a Khmer achievement and a World Heritage”. The celebration was held at the Chaktokmouk conference center on 03 March.
Hun Xen added that Thailand attempted to produce false documents when it fought [with Cambodian troops] at the Veal Entry [Eagle Field] and the Phnom Trop zones with the aim of inflicting damage to the Preah Vihear temple. Hun Xen said that if Thailand continues to pursue Cambodia, he will bring his complaint to the UN Security Council.
Hun Xen declared: “As for them [Thailand], they burnt, they destroyed, they do whatever they want because they are thieves. So the thieves do not know what is good from what is bad! But, this does not mean that this point shows the weakness of Cambodia unwilling to fight back against the aggression troops at all! Whatever the price, we must defend it. There is no 4.6 [square km, the territory claimed by Thailand] in there! It is just this government of thieves who declared about this 4.6 issue. I am making myself clear about this location, and yesterday, Cambodia already prepared a letter to be sent to the UN Security Council if necessary. Sometimes, there is no need to wait for long. Now they [Thailand] are shaking up the World Heritage commission, if I am fed up, then we must send the letter to the [UN] Security Council.”
