Pyongyang, November 22 (KCNA) -- The north's Council for the Reunification of Tangun's Nation and the south's Council for the Peaceful Unification of Tangun's Nation issued a joint appeal on Nov. 17, 105 years since the Japanese imperialists fabricated the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty". The U.S. and Japanese imperialists cooked up the "treaty" by putting the Korean nation's sovereignty and territory on the bargaining table and violating them at will through the "Taft-Katsura Agreement" and are still now building up the war crisis in the Korean Peninsula to enslave the Korean nation, far from drawing a lesson, the appeal pointed out. Noting that Japan has made desperate efforts to grab Tok Islets, part of Korea's inviolable territory, openly revealing its design for invasion instead of making apology and reparation for its past crimes committed against the Koreans, it went on to say: The Korean nation is now standing at the historical crossroad of whether it will see the repeat of the history of national sufferings 100 odd years back or make a new history of reunified nation of Tangun shining with independence and dignity. At this grave moment decisive of the future of the nation, we call upon all the compatriots, being convinced again that their happiness and prosperity are guaranteed with independence: Smash the outsiders' domination and intervention by dint of independence with the great honor and pride of being members of Tangun's nation that has powerful ability to honorably defend its sovereignty and dignity. Oppose the moves of the sycophantic and treacherous forces, the "five traitors in 1905" of contemporary type, for dependence on foreign forces and keep the outsiders from treading on this land any longer. Turn out in the anti-war peace struggle for protecting the destiny of the nation and reliably defend our destiny and the security of our nation. Open up a new phase for national reunification through the great unity of the nation. Conduct a more vigorous grand march for national independence and reunification under the uplifted banner of the idea of "By our nation itself" in the June 15 era. All the compatriots in the north and the south, the descendants of Tangun! Let all of us devote all our wisdom, efforts, sweat and sincerity with patriotism to hand down to posterity the reunified country shining all over the world with independence and dignity! |
