S. Korea Accused of Standing in Way of Improving Korean Relations
Pyongyang, December 15 (KCNA) -- It is necessary to immediately eliminate from the arena of history the south Korean confrontation maniacs, bete noire of the Koreans, the root cause of calamities and cancer-like existence in the way of national reunification, in order to achieve the national reconciliation, unity and reunification, their cherished desire. Rodong Sinmun Tuesday urges this in a signed article.

Recalling that the DPRK has made every sincere effort as evidenced by a series of important measures taken by it to put the abnormal relations between the north and the south on a right track and promote the national reconciliation and unity, the article says:

However, the south Korean authorities' attitude and stand remain unchanged and they got more insolent and provocative than ever before.

The south Korean puppet authorities including Hyon In Thaek, minister of "Unification", disregarded without hesitation an opportunity of improving the inter-Korean relations and escalated the anti-DPRK confrontation racket in a bid to achieve their sinister aims.

The south Korean authorities have opted to escalate the north-south confrontation, persistently denying dialogue and cooperation indispensable for improving the relations.

This proves that the south Korean ruling forces do not have even the slightest will to improve the inter-Korean relations and achieve the national reunification through dialogue and cooperation with the north.

The south Korean authorities are becoming ever more frantic in their anti-DPRK human rights campaign, invariably seeking the confrontation of systems and a sinister aim to stifle the DPRK.

The madcap anti-DPRK racket kicked up by the conservative ruling forces of south Korea over the non-existent "human rights issue" is an intolerable politically motivated provocation against the DPRK as it is a revelation of the sinister intention to tarnish the image of the dignified socialist system in the DPRK and bring the confrontation of systems to an extreme phase. This, at the same time, betrays their criminal wicked scenario to escalate the confrontation with compatriots over the "human rights issue" and bring the inter-Korean relations to an uncontrollable catastrophe.

The south Korean authorities have desperately perpetrated reckless military provocations and moves for a war of aggression against the DPRK, leveling guns at the fellow countrymen desirous of dialogue and improved relations.

The puppets' reckless confrontation offensive against the DPRK has vitiated the atmosphere of the process to improve the inter-Korean relations and again pushed the situation to an uncontrollable catastrophe.

The south Korean conservative group including Hyon In Thaek are bound to face a severe judgment by history and the nation as they persistently seek a way out in the confrontation with the DPRK, swimming against the requirement of the times and the desire of the compatriots.
