Thai FM says charter amendment will not lead to another coup
5/5/2008 17:11

Thai Foreign Minister Noppadon Pattama today expressed confidence that the planned charter amendment of the government will not trigger another military coup as claimed by some anti-government civil groups.
Noppadon, who is also deputy secretary general of the ruling People Power Party (PPP), said the international community clearly understands Thailand's political situation.
He called on all government officials to quickly attend to the people's problems and avoid giving interviews on the political situation to avoid creating division in the country.
Recently, the anti-government groups led by the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) have held several anti-government rallies, opposing the government's plan to amend the 2007 charter, claiming the movement would lead to another military coup.
