Authentic Derrius Guice Jersey , Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Myanmar National Security Adviser Thaung Tun on Friday denied reports of ethnic cleansing in the country's Rakhine State at an open meeting of the UN Security Council on the Rakhine issue.
Thaung Tun said the reports were "subjective and emotionally charged accounts" and denied any ethnic cleansing.
"We recognize that there is a serious situation that needs to be addressed, but we also need to recognize that the recent round of violence was triggered by the attack launched by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA)," Thaung Tun said.
ARSA extremist terrorists reportedly launched fresh attacks on police outposts in Rakhine on Aug. 25, displacing residents from a number of areas in Maungtaw district to border areas with Bangladesh for refuge.
"The government of Myanmar will work to insure that the fight against terrorists will not distract us from our commitment to bring peace, stability and development in Rakhine State," he said.
"It is striving to restore normalcy. There have been no armed clashes and clearance operations since Sept. 5."
"There has been no ethnic cleansing and no genocide in Myanmar," Thaung Tun said
