Pyongyang, September 4 (KCNA) -- The "Ulji Focus Lens-05" joint military exercises were staged by the U.S. troops and south Korean army in south Korea from August 22 to September 2. Minju Joson Saturday in a signed commentary branded the exercises as betrayal to the June 15 era of reunification in which the whole nation has turned out shoulder to shoulder in the grand march for independent reunification, saying that it is an elementary common sense to refrain from breaking dialogue atmosphere and from conducting adventurous war drills exasperating and threatening dialogue partner in order to resolve the problems between the DPRK and U.S. and between the north and the south of Korea through dialogue.
The commentary went on:
The DPRK has been making all sincere efforts to develop the inter-Korean relations and push forward the six-party talks.This is a generally acknowledged stark fact. But the south Korean authorities staged the adventurous war exercises against the north with the United States during the temporary recess of the six-party talks in defiance of our sincere efforts, thus fully revealing that they are faithless and ignorant of public opinion at home and abroad.
Our army and people have got angry at their perfidious and incredible practices. They cannot excuse themselves for their actions.
If they had wanted national reconciliation and unity and independent reunification they would not have conducted the war exercises against the north in defiance of dialogue partner, the desire of the nation and the trend of the times no matter how hard the U.S. forced them.
They, together with the United States, are wholly to blame for negative influence of the war exercises upon the progress of the six-party talks and the inter-Korean relations.
