Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont called for peaceful transition to democracy in Myanmar while addressing the UN General Assembly here Thursday.
It is unacceptable to use violence against protesters in Myanmar, the Thai prime minister said of the political turmoil in Yangon, the capital of the Southeast Asian country.
He noted that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to which Thailand belongs is appalled at reports of automatic weapons being used against demonstrators and that there have been fatalities.
"We strongly urge Myanmar to exercise utmost restraint and seek a political solution and resume its efforts at national reconciliation with all parties concerned, and work towards a peaceful transition to democracy," he said.
