Immediate Halt to Moves for Confrontation with North Demanded

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 17 (KCNA) -- The Secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland in its information bulletin No. 862 released today accused the south Korean authorities of kicking up a racket of confrontation with the north, making reckless remarks about it over the situation created in the wake of the passage of the "motion on impeachment against the president" through the National Assembly, and demanded they stop it at once. The information bulletin said: On March 15 the minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade of south Korea told the nonsense that if the north shows "a passive attitude" towards the six-way talks or does not attend them on account of the "passage of the motion on impeachment against the president" through the NA, "the south cannot but doubt its north's approach towards the peaceful solution to the nuclear issue.
    On March 13 warhawks of south Korea at an urgent meeting with the commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea held to discuss the situation created in the wake of the passage of the motion cried out for "strengthening the alert posture towards the north" and announced that the "reception, staging, onward movement and integration" and "Foal Eagle" joint exercises against the north would be launched as scheduled.
    This attitude on the part of the south Korean authorities is a grave provocation to the compatriots in the north, their dialogue partner.
    The railroading of the "motion on impeachment against the president" through the NA was an illegal political rebellion staged by the GNP and a handful of other pro-U.S. ultra-right conservatives.
    The south Korean authorities, however, proclaimed even an "alert posture," groundlessly finding fault with the fellow countrymen in the north who work hard to promote the reconciliation and unity between the north and the south and achieve reunification through national cooperation, instead of dealing deserved blows at the foreign forces and the traitors who should be punished on behalf of the nation. This can never be justified. There is no justification for the south Korean authorities to incite an atmosphere of confrontation with the north on account of the situation created in south Korea in the wake of the passage of the "impeachment motion" through the NA.
    They should halt this racket at once and properly fulfil their commitment, cogitating about the grave consequences to be entailed by this row of anti-north confrontation.
