CPRC Spokesman Urges S. Korean Authorities Not to Forget Lesson from Incident in August Last Year

Pyongyang, August 24 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Country (CPRC) of the DPRK issued a statement on Tuesday, in which it said that it is the proud history and tradition of the DPRK that it has recorded only legendary stories of victory in the fierce confrontation with the enemies at home and abroad. The great victory won by the DPRK by which it saved the destiny of the country and nation from a hair-trigger crisis in August last year was recorded as the most significant event in the annals of honor, the statement said, and went on: A radical turn would have been brought about in the situation of the Korean peninsula if the agreement adopted by the north and the south one year ago had been valued and implemented. However, the Park Geun Hye group has persistently taken issue with the DPRK, frequently talking about "nuclear threat from the north" and "provocation", thereby laying the blame for worsening inter-Korean relations and catastrophe of the situation on the Korean peninsula at the door of the DPRK. Even at this moment, the Park Geun Hye group is running the whole gamut of vicious and despicable moves to attain the sinister aim of achieving "unification of social systems" while talking about the "collapse of the north". If the puppet group perpetrates a ridiculous provocation again, oblivious of the lesson taught by the August incident last year, the DPRK will never miss the golden opportunity but launch a great war for national reunification of justice and thus annihilate the group of traitors to the last man and blow up the bases of the U.S. imperialists, the chieftain of aggression, on the earth. The most just and independent DPRK has the proud tradition of winning victories but the pro-U.S. group of traitors is fated to sustain a shameful defeat as it is selling off the nation to outside forces and hurting the destiny of the compatriots. -0-
