(KUNA) -- Commander of Thai armed forces Sonthi Boniaratglin denied anew reports on disputes within the army and possible military coup. There are no difference of views among senior military officers who are members of the National Security Council, he told the fifth channel of the Thai TV.
The NSC was formed after the September coup d'etat that deposed the government of former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. The military leader deemed the rumors on possible coup d'etat by some officers who were unhappy with the September 17 coup d'etat and described the incumbent military regime as "totally groundless." "There are no problems in the army or in the NSC," he defied.
Reacting to the recent bombings that hit the capital city of Bangkok on the New Year's Eve, Prime Minister Surayut Chulanon warned against more unrest, raising speculations about possible counter coup d'etat. |
