Thai gov't offers talks if protesters abide by law
None
Thailand's prime minister is ready to negotiate with protesters seeking a change of government, but only when the demonstrators who have illegally occupied city streets agree to abide by the law, his spokesman said Wednesday.
"The attempt to negotiate has been ongoing, but the official talks can't proceed as long as the demonstration remains unlawful. The current atmosphere doesn't provide room for talks to move forward," said Panitan Wattanyagorn, spokesman for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's government. (AP)
