Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- An Kyong Ho, director of the secretariat of the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland issued a statement lashing out at a string of anti-north diatribe let loose recently by South Korean human scum who had been judged by history and the nation.
Recalling that in "recorded memoirs" carried by the may 1999 issue of the South Korean magazine Wolgan Chosun, Roh Tae Woo heaped abuses on the north, telling the lie that he told the head of the north side's delegation that visited Seoul to attend the 5th round of the north-south high-level talks about the "June 25 War," the director stated that he as a spokesman for the north side's delegation at that time cannot but disclose the falsity of what Roh Tae Woo remarked.
He continued: At that time Roh told the head of the north side's delegation that the excellent north-south agreement reflecting the desire of the 70 million people was adopted because the chief executives of the north and south took a bold decision and guided the high-level talks. Roh asked the head of the north side's delegation to convey to President Kim Il Sung his sincere feelings of deep respect for having made a decision for improved inter-Korean relations, fully considerate of the desire of the nation.
Saying that he was very pleased to hear that President Kim Il Sung was in good health, Roh added: There may be something in common between the president and me in the sense that we are chief executives of the north and south. But I am no match for the president because he already led the anti-Japanese armed struggle when I was little and he is a great and distinguished leader who has successfully steered the Korean nation in the state of division since the august 15, 1945, liberation. "It is my sincere wish to build a high gold pyramid after the successful solution of the reunification question and have the honor of presenting it to the president first."
Rodong Sinmun on December 14, 1991, carried the story to this effect filed by journalists of the north side who were visiting Seoul to cover the talks at that time. The director said, and continued: What Roh referred to as regards the June 25 War in his "recorded memoirs," falsifying the truth, is a treacherous act of making a fool of public opinion and throwing a wet blanket over the aspiration of the fellow countrymen who want reconciliation and unity between the north and south, and an outcry of an imposter who does not have even an iota of conscience.
It is not difficult to guess the aim sought by Roh in slandering the north in an "interview" with such a human fossil belonging to the cold war era as Jo Kap Je of Chosun Ilbo who is playing a leading role in the media to serve the purpose of confrontation with the north.
Roh's outcry is prompted by his try to prolong his dirty remaining days by taking precautions to get rid of his difficult position where he is trying to win "sympathy" by making eyes at some person. And he fears that he may be accused of "being red" if what he said is opened to the public as the former and incumbent "presidents" of South Korea are slandering each other.
No one can deny history and facts.
Those who orchestrated this base and despicable drama must make an immediate apology and withdraw their anti-north remarks.
The South Korean authorities are well advised to straighten the situation, clearly mindful that their connivance at the anti-north outcries of Roh Tae Woo and gangsters of Chosun Ilbo would adversely affect the inter-Korean relations.
