Phnom Penh: Dr. Kin Phe said that the Thai side claims that the Cambodian territory it is illegally controlling is its own, without any evidence or proof.
During a roundtable discussion on “International Maps and Cambodian Sovereignty,” Dr. Kin Phe, a political observer, said that the distorted map drawn by the Thai side also showed that the Ta Moan Thom Temple and some other areas belong to all Cambodians.
The doctor stated that “Even the pirate map, the map drawn unilaterally by the Thai side, called the 1:50,000 scale map, also shows that the Ta Moan Thom Temple is within the territory of the Kingdom of Cambodia. So what does Thailand have to claim that the Ta Moan Thom Temple or some other areas that they are occupying “And illegally control it as their own territory is without argument, without evidence, without any argument at all.”
The doctor said that the structure of Ta Moan Thom Temple shows all the Khmer cultural identity. Therefore, the use of military force to control and occupy the Ta Moan Thom temple cannot ignore the true history.
Dr. Kin Phe added that the Cambodian-Thai border was not created by any country, but is an international border, internationally recognized through the Franco-Siamese Treaty.
Political observers say that the border demarcation was carried out on the actual ground by the Indochina-French Siamese Joint Committee and has value as technical evidence on the actual ground.
