Pyongyang, August 14 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of
the DPRK gave the following answer to the question raised by KCNA Sunday
as regards Germany's projected delivery of attack missiles to south
Korea:
There are reports that Germany will deliver Taurus air-to-surface
missiles capable of accurately hitting the strategic bases of the DPRK
within this year.
If it is true, Germany's projected delivery disregarding even its
domestic law banning arms export to dispute-torn areas will disturb
peace and escalate tensions on the Korean peninsula, the biggest hot
spot in the world.
In the past Germany sold Patriot interceptor missiles and diesel
engine submarines to south Korea. Its unhesitating delivery of even
attack missiles to south Korea will only result in inciting the south
Korean authorities getting desperate in confrontation with the
compatriots in the north to a new war.
Germany has talked more than any others that it hopes for
"stability" and "peace" on the Korean peninsula as it made apologies
repeatedly for inflicting untold disasters upon humankind by igniting
two world wars and experienced the pain resulting from national
division.
However, it is now making no scruple of doing an action inciting a war.
It is, indeed, preposterous for it to term the DPRK's self-defensive
steps for defending its sovereignty, vital rights of the nation and
regional peace "violations of resolutions" of the UN Security Council,
while selling even attack missiles to south Korea in defiance of its
domestic law.
Germany will have to have courage to answer the question as to
whether the UNSC's resolution terming weapon test "threat to world peace
and security" is fair or not.
If it wants to shoulder "heavier responsibility" in the
international arena, it will have to discreetly behave with a right
viewpoint on the situation on the Korean peninsula.
The projected sale of missiles should be retracted at once as it
will wreck peace on the Korean peninsula and other parts of the region.
