NO JANUARY 7 WITHOUT APRIL 17
NO APRIL 17 WITHOUT VIETNAM'S INTERVENTION
I would like to remind the Cambodian people that without April 17, 1975 (Khmer Rouge takeover) there would be no January 7, 1979 ("liberation" of Cambodia, or invasion/occupation of our country, by the Vietnamese communist army), and without the intervention in Cambodia by Vietnamese forces (Vietcong and North Vietnamese army) in the early 1970's, there would be no Khmer Rouge takeover on April 17, 1975 and no need to "liberate" Cambodia.
Therefore, we have to look at the whole series of events and realize that the whole political stage in Cambodia in the 1970's was set with the active participation of expansionist Vietnam in order to create pretexts for Vietnam to take control of Cambodia and to swallow Khmer lands.
King-Father Norodom Sihanouk used to call Vietnam "Les avaleurs de terres khmeres" or "The swallowers of Khmer lands."
