Keep a cool head, no coup repeat: Army chief
Play
Army chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha on Friday poured cold water over any attempts to lure the soldiers out of the barracks, saying he would not fall prey to staging a coup in the face of the push for charter change.
“The coup idea can not be reignited,” he said.
Prayuth urged the opposing sides to try to resolve their differences via peaceful means and within the rule of law. The country should heed the lesson that the country would suffer the consequences upon the eruption of political violence, he said.
As the red and yellow shirts have been stepping up street protests, the Army chief urged all sides to exercise restraints and comply with the laws.
