Spokesman for CPRK Denounces Lee Myung Bak's Provocative Remarks against DPRK

Pyongyang, May 12 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea gave an answer to a question put by KCNA Wednesday as regards the provocative remarks made by Lee Myung Bak of south Korea against the DPRK during his recent visit to Germany.
On May 8 Lee at round-table talks with compatriots and a press conference held during his Germany visit said that the north's nukes are obstructive to unification, urging it to "dismantle" them, and asserted that it should "apologize" for the warship sinking case and the Yonphyong Island shelling case.
This was nothing but the last-ditch effort to chill the ever-growing atmosphere of dialogue, ward off the criticism of him for the collapse of the inter-Korean relations and the failure of his policy toward the north and justify his anti-DPRK nuclear racket and the moves to escalate the confrontation with it, said the spokesman.
The Korean Peninsula is not Germany.
The DPRK cannot but seriously consider its stance maintained so far as it has become clear now that the mean declaration made by Lee was put into practice and he is set to stand in confrontation to the last, the spokesman added. -0-
