Thai government figures yesterday accused Cambodia of trying to internationalise the border dispute between the two countries by starting a new round of attack.
"All of sudden they fired at us," Defence Minister General Prawit Wongsuwon was quoted as saying by Agence France-Presse.
"It could be that they wanted to internationalise the situation to attract a third country [to intervene]. We do not want to fight but have to retaliate when they fire at us".
The defence minister also called for the resumption of bilateral talks to resolve the territorial dispute. "We have to put pressure on them to go back to the meeting table," he said.
Acting Government Spokesman Panitan Watanayagorn said that Cambodia was trying to involve a third country in the border dispute by requesting the United Nations Security Council to act. He said that the UNSC was waiting for information from Thailand before making any decision about the matter.
"Thailand insists that both countries can solve the problem through the existing bilateral mechanism. We are determined to work with Cambodia in solving the problem but we also have to protect our people [at the border]," Panitan said.
Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban, who is in charge of security affairs, yesterday said the border row must be solved by the two countries without intervention by a third party.
