S. Korean authorities accused of military provocation
Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- The Central Committee of the Romanian Communist Party released a statement on July 20 as regards the recent armed conflict on the Military Demarcation Line in the central sector of the front in Korea.
The statement says the Romanian Communist Party bitterly condemns the vicious provocation made by the south Korean puppets with the backing of the U.S., considering it as part of their scheming to undermine the socialist system in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The recent case proves that the powerless, old armistice system does not guarantee peace and security on the Korean Peninsula, the statement says.
It demands that a peacekeeping mechanism be set up on the Korean Peninsula as proposed by the DPRK.
The Romanian Communist Party will stand firm by the heroic Korean people and the DPRK led by Secretary Kim Jong Il, the great and experienced leader, the statement adds.

Measure aimed at diverting public attentiom
Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet headquarters of joint chiefs of staff announced a few days ago that civilian access to beaches and riversides would be strictly controlled throughout south Korea for "coastal guard" against possible "provocation" of the north.
A news analyst of Rodong Sinmun today says:
Needless to say, this is part of their moves to shift on to the north the blame for the fierce armed conflict that took place on the military demarcation line some time ago, caused by their reckless military provocation.
The Kim Young Sam regime is driven to a tight corner, isolated and rejected by the south Korean people for its antisocial Government and notorious irregularities including the Hanbo loan scandal.
That is why the regime schemes to incite hostile sentiment for confrontation and war with the north among the south Korean people, divert public attention elsewhere and maintain office during the rest of its term.
Although the Kim Young Sam regime is trying hard to reverse black and white with outcries over "provocation" of the north, the south Korean people see through the ulterior intention of the warhawks to find a way out in war racket against the north.
Papers call for maimtaining wartime spirit
Pyongyang, July 27 (KCNA) -- Today marks the 44th anniversary of the Korean people's victory in the Fatherland Liberation War.
The Korean people celebrate July 27 as the second liberation day as they defeated the allied invaders of imperialism and defended the nation's dignity and sovereignty.
Papers here today dedicate editorials to this anniversary.
Rodong Sinmun says:
We owe our great victory in the war to the respected leader President Kim Il Sung's outstanding military ideas, strategy, tactics, Juche methods of war and superb commanding art.
The President victoriously led the hard-fought war of three years, saved the country and people from crisis and opened a bright road for the Korean revolution and the era of independence. His exploits will be immortal along with the advance of the revolution.
We must carry forward the tradition of the heroic struggle which brought about the historic victory in the great fatherland liberation war so that we can demonstrate the indomitable spirit and dignity of Kim Il Sung's nation and complete the party's cause.
When the Party members and working people uphold the Party's leadership the way they did during the war, they can pull through any storm and stress and effect a great revolutionary upswing in socialist construction.
We must have optimism and belief that under the leadership of Secretary Kim Jong Il we can overcome any difficulties and work epoch-making miracles and perform feats.
The Korean revolution is guided by Secretary Kim Jong Il, who has led the Party and people for more than 30 years with his distinguished ability and quality.
The Korean People's Army and people are ready to become human bombs and make suicidal attack in order to defend the headquarters of the revolution led by Secretary Kim Jong Il.
In the last war, we could defeat the allied forces of imperialism and work epoch-making military miracles, thanks to the heroic fight of the People's Army and the wholehearted military-civilian unity.
The destiny and future of the country, revolution and nation depend on the People's Army.
As we defeated the aggressors through military-civilian unity during the war, we must defend the sovereignty of the country and nation generation after generation and demonstrate the spirit of Juche Korea all over the world on the strength of military-civilian unity.
Minju Joson says:
The second liberation day is immortal and the Korean revolution has a bright future as it is led by Secretary Kim Jong Il, who victoriously pulls through manifold difficulties in the revolution with his clairvoyant wisdom and experienced, tested leadership.
