Prasat Preah Vihear
The article tittled:” Cambodia and Thailand reached an agreement during the 34th Session of the Historical Heritage “published on website Brasilia 2010 Brazil of the Unesco released very confusing statments which I strongly demand the correction in the following points:
- The word “Hindu temple” is used in the article: It is not wrong but this should be changed to Khmer Temple, Prasat Preah Vihear, or Preah Vihear temple. We Khmer feel used to these words and any of them can be used. They sound perfectly to us as the descendants.
- Regarding to the location of Prasat Preah Vihear the writer wrote: “The property is a Hindu temple from the 11th century, located in the border between the two countries.” This statement is completely wrong and unacceptable because Prasat Preah Vihear internationally, legally, historically, and geographically locates in Cambodia, not in the border between the two countries-Cambodia and Thailand. Such a statement must not be carelessly made because it does confuse the public, international community, and especially it can be taken for granted by the extremist PAD in Thailand which may fuel to more border conflicts between the two countries. So I strongly hope that the writer of this article will make a correction in accordance with the reality of Prasat Preah Vihear where it is located.
