100 Thai troops stationed at Five Rocks opposite Phnom Trop
Khmer and Thai commanders met after the armed clashes on 15th October, 2008. Doeum Ampil News 12th February, 2009 Translated from Khmer by Khmerization Om Wednesday 11th February 50 Thai troops have crossed into Cambodia and camped at Thmor Pram Dom (Five Rocks) opposite Phnom Trop. On the morning of Thursday 12th February, there are reports from Preah Vihear that the numbers of Thai troops had been increased to 100 in the area. Sources said that the original 50 troops have been redeployed from the Thai frontline into the Cambodian frontline at Ta Sin Pass. The incursions happened in the morning when the Thai troops tried to lay barbed wires in the areas considered as disputed. The Cambodian side told the Thai side to stop laying the barbed wires and afterward they withdrew from the areas. Later in the afternoon the same day, the same Thai troops returned to the same areas through Ta Sin Pass and stationed at Five Rocks again. Sources said that due to these new Thai incursions, the Khmer and Thai commanders for the Preah Vihear areas have met on 12th February to resolve the issues. The Thai incursions happened shortly after the Thai Defence Minister discussed the border issues with PM Hun Sen in Phnom Penh. This tense situation is reminiscent of the 15th October 2008 armed clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops which happened two days after the Thai Foreign Minister met Mr. Hun Sen in Phnom Penh.

The Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) has been set for Monday and Tuesday in Siem Reap, and the disputed 4.6-square-kilometre area surrounding Preah Vihear temple is high on the agenda, foreign affairs spokesman Tharit Charungwat said yesterday. Mr Tharit said patience was needed. An agreement could not be expected overnight, despite the best intentions to resolve the problem through bilateral negotiations. "I'm glad both sides have agreed to bilateral talks, but we all must exercise restraint because many rounds of talks can be expected," said Mr Tharit. Field survey teams from both countries may be going to the borders during the talks, he added. Both countries claim sovereignty over the disputed area. Thailand says it is in Kantharalak district of Si Sa Ket, but Cambodia insists it is part of its Preah Vihear province. The JBC meeting comes after parliament last week approved a negotiation framework with Cambodia. Vasin Teeravechyan, the retired Thai ambassador to South Korea, heads the Thai team to the JBC meeting. He yesterday attended the preparatory meeting at the Foreign Ministry. The Cambodian side is led by Senior Minister Var Kim Hong. Mr Tharit said Foreign Minister Sompong Amornvivat and his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong will meet on Nov 12 in Siem Reap after the JBC forum. He said Cambodia may also raise other disputed areas, such as Ta Muean Thom and Ta Kwai temples, during the ministerial talks, as it had previously intended to at the last meeting in August.
