Thailand's military rulers name interim prime minister

http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2006-09-28-thailand-coup_x.htm

BANGKOK (AP) — Surayud Chulanont, a former army commander and a close adviser to Thailand's powerful monarch, has been chosen as the country's interim prime minister, the auditor general said Thursday night.
Surayud, a highly regarded 62-year-old retired officer, was selected by the country's ruling military council which seized power from Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra Sept. 19 and vowed to name a civilian prime minister within two weeks.

"Yes, definitely, Gen. Surayud is the prime minister. He is the suitable person," Auditor General Jaruvan Maintaka told reporters. Her comments were later carried on an official government website.

The appointment is expected to be officially announced this weekend or Monday after it receives approval from King Bhumibol Adulyadej.

Akara Thiroj, a spokesman for the council, said an interim constitution has already been finalized and sent to the Royal Palace. He hoped the constitution could be unveiled Saturday or Sunday and followed by the formal announcement of the prime minister on the weekend or Monday.

"The media seems to know more than I do. Every newspaper put his name on the front page," Akara said when asked who the new prime minister would be.

All Friday morning Bangkok newspapers carried headlines that Surayud would probably head the new government which is to serve until an election promised for October 2007.

The other much-touted possibility for the job had been former World Trade Organization chief Supachai Panitchpakdi, who now heads the U.N. Conference on Trade and Development, or UNCTAD.

Korn Chatikavanij, deputy general secretary of the Democrat Party, said earlier that Surayud is an "appropriate" choice. The Democrat Party was the leading opposition to Thaksin's government.

元軍人をappropriate" choiceと野党がいうのはなぜでしょうね。

Although being a former general might give the outside world the impression the military was merely transferring power to one of its cronies, that would be neither true nor relevant, he said.

"What is important is domestic reconciliation and Gen. Surayud is ideal for that," Korn told The Associated Press.
この理由はしっくりきませんね。

一方タクシンは、

The military ousted elected prime minister Thaksin in a bloodless coup while Thaksin was visiting New York. He is now in London, and has not indicated if or when he may try to return to Thailand.

はいはい今は帰れないでしょう。タクシンさん肝いりの新空港オープンしたのになあ。皮肉なものだ。この新空港は日本から円借款で約450億円が使われております。金利は1パーセント。
