Special report: Army coup in Thailand
WASHINGTON, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- The United States condemned onWednesday
the coup d'etat in Thailand which ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, and
called for the restoration of civilian rule in the country "as quickly as
possible."
"There's no justification for a military coup in Thailand or inany place
else," State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey said at a news briefing.
"We certainly are extremely disappointed by this action. It's astep
backward for democracy in Thailand.
"We want to see a resolution of this situation in accordance with the rule
of law and in accordance with democratic procedures -- that certainly means the
restoration of civilian rule in Thailand as quickly as possible."
Thailand's army commander Sondhi Boonyaratkalin ousted Prime Minister
Thaksin Shinawatra in a military coup Tuesday night whilehe was in New York for
the United Nations General Assembly, circling his offices with tanks, declaring
martial law and revoking the constitution.
Initial response to the coup from Washington was that Thailand should
resolve political differences peacefully.
