Know the temple dispute between Cambodia and Thailand …
The history of Thailand and Cambodia has long been associated with conflicts between Khmer Empire (Cambodia) and Siam Empire (Thailand).
The boundaries of the two countries were tension even during France and British rule, due to which the legal and political dispute over the land around Preh Vihar (Dear Vihar) and Ta Mun Thom temples continued to continue.
When Cambodia was under France in 1907, a long border of 817 km was drawn between the two countries.
Thailand opposed this, as the map was shown in the Preh Vihar (Priya Vihar) temple in part of Cambodia.
At the same time, the Ta Mun Thom Temple was shown in Thailand, while Cambodia considers it its own.
Cambodia claims on Ta Mun Thom Temple
The Ta Mun Thom Temple falls in the part of the border of both countries which is not properly decided. This is the reason why both countries claim this.
It is located on the side of Thailand, but Cambodia claims that it is its historical part, as it was formed in the era of the Khmer Empire.
The Khmer Empire was a powerful and influential civilization of Cambodia, which lasted from 9th to 15th century. Apart from Cambodia, this empire ruled many parts of Laos, Thailand and Vietnam.
At the same time, Thailand claims that the temple may be from Cambodia but it has the right to the land around it.
The forces of the two countries regularly patrol around this temple, which often causes clashes here. This time a clash also took place near this temple.
Preh Vihir Thailand claims on temple Preh Vihier Temple has more dispute between the two countries. Thailand continued to try to control the temple, after which Cambodia took the matter to the International Court of Court in 1959.
In 1962, the court ruled that the temple belonged to Cambodia. The court ordered Thailand to remove its soldiers. Thailand then accepted it, but the dispute over the surrounding land continued.
Big controversy over joining heritage site
The dispute in 2008 increased further when the temple was included by UNESCO in the World Heritage Site. After the temple was recognized, clashes started again in the armies of the two countries and in 2011 the situation deteriorated so much that thousands of people were forced to leave their homes.
In 2013, the court clarified its old verdict and said that not only the temple, but also the area around it is from Cambodia. At the same time, Thailand was asked to completely remove his army from there. However, the issue of border has not been completely resolved yet.
Now know why the battle broke out between Thailand-Kambodia …
The dispute has been going on for the last 2 months between the Thai army. On May 28, the Emelled Triangle collided between the armies of the two countries, killing a Cambodian soldier. This is the place of Thailand, Cambodia and Laos. Both Thailand and Cambodia claim this area.
It increased more on Thursday morning. According to the Cambodian army, the Thai soldiers took an edge towards the Ta Mun Thom temple near the border and put barged wires around it. The Thai soldiers then released the drone and fired aerial.
At the same time, according to the Thai army, the first Cambodian soldiers started the struggle. Thailand tried to reduce stress through dialogue, but when it was not reached, the firing started.
