He added, “If we had anti-aircraft weapons, it’s safe to say that we could win in six months. They would have to attend the table for dialogues. They would also [have to] accept the ASEAN [Association of Southeast Asian Nations] proposals. They would also follow the demands of the US, EU and other countries. [Otherwise] they won’t accept or follow at all.”
