Former Pm Thaksin held a press conference at 14:30 today, as reported:
"During the conference, he vows to stay out of politics and apologised to the people for their hardship caused by his involvement in the political conflict.
"I and my family have suffered from injustice but this can not be compared to the hardship befallen the people who are the worst victims of political rivalry," he says.
Thaksin says it is normal for politicians to having ties with him as this is part of Thai culture but should not be construed as his political comeback.
He wants to return to his homeland since September 20, a day after the power seizure but he was asked by coup leaders to stay in exil for a while. This happened to last almost 18 months, he says.
Following the restoration of democratic rule, he says he is obliged to come back to defend his tarnished reputation and that of his family. He says he is saddened by injustice, vowing to rebut his graft charges and prove his innocence."
