Japan Is Bound to Go to Final Ruin: Minju Joson

Pyongyang, February 3 (KCNA) -- The Japanese authorities were compelled to sit at negotiating table with the south Korean authorities in a bid to solve the issue of sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army. But they refused to make proper apology and admit state responsibility for it and attempted to cover up Japan's past crimes by paying a petty amount of money to its victims. And they declared that the issue of sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army found a legal and "final solution" and they would no longer own any responsibility to redress their past wrongs.

Minju Joson Wednesday says in a commentary in this regard:

The war crimes committed by Japan in the past including the sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army can be solved only through Japan's sincere apology, admission of state responsibility and honest reparation.

The Japanese authorities, however, do not look sincere in this respect.

Japan claims that it did nothing wrong in the past and it is, therefore, not obliged to own any responsibility for liquidating the past. This is the Japanese reactionaries' present understanding of history.

Having such perverted view of history and immoral perception, the Japanese reactionaries have Japan's past crimes including the issue of sexual slavery for the Imperial Japanese Army unsettled till now over seven decades since the war.

They should bear in mind that to what path their unreasonable attitude towards the past crimes is leading Japan.

Morally corrupt and degenerate Japan is bound to go to a final ruin, warns the commentary.
