Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar's Army Chief
In a Bangkok post on June 23, a commentary report by British media former BBC editor Larry Jagann published. The report claimed that a high level security meeting held on the question of United Nations role in handling the Rakhine situation and the role of Rohingya refugees, there was a debate between Aung San Suu Kyi and Myanmar's army chief.
Quoting a number of sources, the report said that Min Aung Hallayang gave the government a coup threat. It is claimed that Suu Kyi and the army's relations have taken a dangerous turn on the issue of Rakhine killing and rape charges and the issue of bringing back Rohingya Muslims. The army has not seen it well, the initiative to engage the United Nations to resolve the crisis. The army, in particular, has strongly objected to the issue of having a foreign expert in the investigation committee. The article quoted a former senior army officer close to the army chief in the article saying, "It will not take the army (in foreign affairs to be investigated) in any way." This red-line can not be crossed. "
After the meeting, the army claimed that the army withdrew from the big cities except Rakhine and stopped the operations in the border region. Jagan said that this has been done to prepare for the conflict in Naypyidaw. The Myanmar government has rejected these claims. President's office spokesman and state advisor Aung San Suu Kyi's office took charge as the Director General of the conference on Wednesday at a press conference that there was no controversy during the meeting of Suu Kyi and the army chief. He said, "They have discussed and discussed these issues in detail. There was no kind of rage on that day. If the government fails to properly handle the Rakhine situation, the army chief did not threaten the coup. The meeting did not end with any contradiction. It ended peacefully and through compromise. '
Jagan claims the report is 'completely wrong' and said, "The authors do not live in Myanmar. And the sources that are mentioned in this article are not reliable. It has created rumors and it may cause social stability, the democratic transformation of the country and the coordination and peace process can be tarnished. That is why we are doing this press conference to show the journalists.
During the meeting, he claimed that he was in the room. He said, 'First we discussed about the activities of the Myanmar relationship with the United Nations and the International Criminal Court. The government has clearly expressed the intention of the formation of the Rakhine Search Commission and the deployment of a foreigner there. The army chief and the deputy army chief expressed solidarity in this regard. '
J Hott claims that the army is not very satisfied with Larry Zagan's report.
