Thailand avoids chaos but solution to take time -ASEAN
Reuters - 1 hour 24 minutes ago
HONG KONG, Dec 3 -Thailand's court ruling to dismiss Premier Somchai Wongsawat had prevented a slide into chaos but there is no quick solution to the political turmoil, the head of ASEAN said on Wednesday.
"At least it has put a stop to the slide into chaos, even more choas," Surin Pitsuwan, head of the Association of South East Asian Nations , told Reuters in an interview. He was referring to a court ruling on Tuesday to dismiss the government of Somchai, whom anti-government protesters accuse of being a puppet of his brother-in-law Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup.
"Right now the situation is quite fragile, but definitely the situation is in the process of a more stable, more acceptable and more legitimate government. It wil take some time to find a balance."
ASEAN on Tuesday postponed its summit scheduled for Dec. 13-17 in Thailand until March because of the conflict in Thailand but Surin said the meeting could take place before March, not necessarily in Thailand.
