Pyongyang, November 17 (KCNA) -- It has been 114 years since the Japanese imperialists fabricated the "Ulsa Five-point Treaty" on November 17, 1905.
In this regard, Rodong Sinmun Sunday carries an article citing data to prove that the "treaty" was an illegal one devoid of legal validity.
The article says:
The Japanese imperialists pursued the heinous policy of obliterating the Korean nation on the "legal basis" of the illegal "treaty".
The policy enforced for over 40 years during their colonial rule over Korea was the most barbarous ever known in history. The Korean people had been subjected to the bloody slavery. The Japanese imperialists took the Korean young and middle-aged people to battlefields and slave labor sites.
They made every desperate effort to deprive Koreans of their written and spoken language and even their surnames and names. And they did not hesitate to destroy and plunder at random the precious cultural wealth of the Korean nation and rich natural resources of Korea.
The mental and material damage inflicted upon the Korean people by the Japanese imperialists was beyond imagination.
The misfortune and pains the Korean people suffered during the Japanese imperialists aggressors' colonial rule remain a wrath uncured in their hearts, though more than seven decades have passed since the country was liberated.
The passage of time can neither reduce the crimes committed by the shameless aggressors who deprived the Korean nation of national sovereignty nor clear away the history of the Japanese imperialists who ran amuck to obliterate the Korean nation. -0-
