"Do not try to put this country hostage for bargaining your power,"
Hun Sen said, warning that any attempt to stage a civil war will be
"cracked down on in just hours."
The opposition Cambodian National Rescue Party (CNRP) has refused to
recognise the outcome of the election, won by the ruling Cambodian
People's Party (CPP), on grounds the polls were rigged to ensure a CPP
victory.
The opposition has boycotted all parliament sessions and staged mass
protests, demanding a serious probe of the election, reform of the
National Election Committee, organisation of a new election and Hun
Sen's resignation.
Hun Sen said a political settlement should be conducted through negotiation or through the National Assembly.
"It should not be settled by walking in the streets," he said.
The CPP won 68 seats of the total 123-seat National Assembly in last
July's general election, while Sam Rainsy's CNRP got the remaining 55
seats.
