Japanese reactionaries have gone to the extremes in their wild ambition to seize Tok Islands.

Of late, the Japanese defence minister claimed that Tok Islands are clearly pertaining to Japan in terms of history and international law. His sheer sophism provokes a side-splitting laughter.

Bellicose remarks that the "Self-Defense Forces" should be dispatched to expel illegal occupants and there is no other option but a war to take back Tok Islands are heard even from the Japanese Diet.

This is an expression of the true nature of brigandish Japan obsessed by the greed for territory and the concentrated revelation of shameless distortion of history and the wild ambition to seize Tok Islands.

Japan is the one and only country that publishes fabricated history textbooks, far from giving proper education to the rising generation, and employs every possible means such as setting "Takeshima (Tok Islands) Day" to stoke aggression.

Japan's distortion and far-fetched assertion based on the fascist doctrine "telling a lie a hundred times makes people believe it as truth" are all an absurd jargon and an intolerable challenge to the sovereignty of the Korean nation.

Tok Islands are part of the inalienable territory of the Korean nation from geographical, historical and legal points of view.

This is an immovable truth of history.

Tok Islands are the territory of Korea where the Korean people have reclaimed and lived before B.C. and has nothing to do with Japan that came into being after A.D., evidenced by "History of Koryo Dynasty", "Geographical Book Attached to the True Records of King Sejong" and Samguksagi (Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms) and other old documents and data and a secret document opened to the public in 2015 proving that in the early 1900s the village head of Oki Island of Japan, when asked about his viewpoint on Tok Islands at the Cabinet, said that Ullung Islands and Tok Islands are all the islands in the East Sea of Korea.

The Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Declaration and memorandums Nos. 677 and 1033 signed and issued by the General Headquarters of the Allied Powers during and after the Second World War clearly confirm the legal status of Tok Islands as the territory of Korea.

Japan's persistent "dominium over Tok Islands" cannot be construed as mere ignorance of history and laws or revelation of the temper of born impostor.

It is the ulterior intention of the ill-natured Japanese reactionaries to provide conditions favourable for the realization of their militaristic ambition for overseas aggression by distorting and fabricating history to their tastes.

Japan makes no scruple of distorting history in a bid to realize its wild ambition for reinvasion.

It has already turned into a "country capable of going to war" and dangerous forces of aggression. It is whitewashing and justifying its past crimes in an effort to realize the pipedream of the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere".

It is making desperate efforts to hoist the blood-stained war criminal flag at the venue of the Olympic Games symbolic of peace.

Justice is sure to win. This is an iron truth shown by history.

All the Koreans and the international community keep close watch at the moves of Japan watching for a chance for reinvasion of the territory where the Korean people have lived down through generations.

Japan should be mindful that it is precipitating destruction and give up its wild ambition to seize the inalienable territory of Korea.
