Baku, February 14 (AZERTAC). The row over a 11th century Hindu temple between Thailand and Cambodia continued as Phnom Penh said it will not attend a Joint Boundary Commission meeting to resolve the issue.

Cambodia will argue that it is at war with Thailand and that intervention from a third party in needed when it presents its case to the UN Security Council tomorrow, ``Bangkok Post`` quoted an unnamed Government source as saying.

The source said that Cambodia would produce evidence that the Thai military had been the aggressors during the border clashes and had used banned weapons including cluster bombs and poison gas.

The proposed joint boundary commission talks had been set for the end of the month Cambodia has indicated that there would be no meeting.

"Now bilateral mechanisms cannot resolve the issue," Var Kimhong president of Cambodia``s boundary commission said.

Since border skirmishes erupted on February 4 along the Hindu Shiva temple, known as Preah Vihar, Thailand has said the dispute should be resolved with bilateral talks through the joint boundary commission.
