Paradorn Pattanathabutr, secretary general of the National Security Council, said yesterday the explanation of the Barisan Revolusi Nasional's five conditions for continuing the peace dialogue would be tabled at the meeting next week.
The new round of talks, likely in the second or third week of October in Malaysia, would take up the southern violence over the month of Ramadan, so there should be an official answer on which group had carried out the attacks, he said.
In the BRN statement received on Friday, the group insisted that the five demands were not out of line with the Constitution, whether the Malaysian government acts as a mediator, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and NGOs witness the talks or the Thai government acknowledges the rights of the Melayu Patani nation.
The BRN said it was about the Malayu nation people’s identification, not about separatism.
