Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Not sure if this is still up-to-date, but from January 2016:
Shortly after his release late last year, Mr. Tekoglu, who runs SeaCambodia, a luxury tour boat company in Sihanoukville, visited the Cambodia Daily office in Phnom Penh and said that he wanted the newspaper to publish the “real story”—that he had been falsely inculpated in the stabbing and targeted in the drive-by as a result of an ongoing dispute with rival Turkish businessmen Bora Ozturk and Sakip Capal, who run the Koh Rong Dive Center and its ferry service.

He was targeted by 'Russians' actually.
Yes, the Russians and the Turks get confused in the reporting. Turks are working for the Russians and sometimes they (media) mix them up.
Do you have coherent summary of who hates who ? And who owns what ?
Just wondering what the latest violence means.
Mehmet is a nutcase, he has problems with everybody. Let's leave it at that.

Turkish Hotel Owner Charged Over Stick-Beating in Sihanoukville

A Turkish guesthouse owner with a history of violence was back in prison on Friday after allegedly chasing and beating another Turkish man with a bamboo stick in Sihanoukville, police said.

Mehmet Tekoglu, 42, chased the 38-year-old man, identified only as Ozturk, on his motorbike, and beat the victim with a half-meter bamboo stick when he fell to the ground, Preah Sihanouk provincial police chief Chuon Narin said in a post on his Facebook page on Thursday.
