Myanmar's neighbours have to negotiate with a newly formed government of national unity if they want to help resolve the turmoil triggered a by a Feb. 1 military coup and they should not recognise the junta, a unity government official said.

The 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations has been trying to find a way out of the bloody crisis that has racked member Myanmar since the military ousted an elected government led by democracy champion Aung San Suu Kyi.

Moe Zaw Oo, a deputy minister of foreign affairs in a National Unity Government set up last week, said ASEAN should not recognise the Myanmar junta. The NUG has called for international recognition as the legitimate authority and had requested an invitation to the ASEAN meeting in Min Aung Hlaing's place.

"We ... commit to continue taking action to press for the immediate cessation of violence, the release of those who are detained, and a swift return to democracy," they said in a statement on Friday.Crowds were out on the streets of several towns in Myanmar on Sunday to show support for the NUG. There was no claim of responsibility for the blasts. The military has accused protesters of carrying out bomb attacks.

Why is ASEAN inviting murderer-in-chief instead of NUG? They should not legitimize the terrorists. We strongly urge ASEAN to recognize the democratically & legally elected govt NUG who has the full public support. We’ll not accept any deals made with junta without including NUG.

ASEAN leaders tell Myanmar coup general to end killingsJAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Southeast Asian leaders demanded an immediate end to killings and the release of political detainees in Myanmar in an emergency summit Saturday with its top general and coup leader, Indonesia's president said.

ASEAN leaders to meet Myanmar coup leader amid killingsJAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Southeast Asian leaders are to meet Myanmar’s top general and coup leader in an emergency summit in Indonesia Saturday, and are expected to press calls for an end to violence by security forces that has left hundreds of protesters dead as well as the release of Aung San Suu Kyi and other political detainees. There is little hope for an immediate breakthrough in the two-hour gathering in Jakarta between Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing and the heads of state of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. But his decision to face them offers a rare chance for the 10-nation bloc to directly deal with the general who ousted one of its leaders in a Feb. 1 coup. “The unfolding tragedy has serious consequences for Myanmar, ASEAN and the region,” Singapore’s Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan said on the eve of the summit. It's not wise to legitimize this madman by having legitimate leaders meet with him. A great start I just moved to your city, who wouldn't mind showing me interesting places?

What was the hold up demanding human rights and democracy for all ? Isn't the same UN statements before? we would like to know if he doesn't follow those demand then what is the consequences for him and his gang? It's a lot of killings going on there and other places. Its wrong on all levels.
