Japan's Scheme to Grab Tok Islets Urged in S. Korea
Pyongyang, April 4 (KCNA) -- The Youth and Students Headquarters of the South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration called a press conference in Seoul on April 1, denouncing Japan for its ambition for grabbing Tok Islets.

At the press conference speakers charged that the Japanese government recently made a provocative attempt to seize Tok Islets again while getting hell-bent on discrimination moves against the Korean schools in Japan.

Recalling that the government of Japan decided to mark Tok Islets as part of its territory even in textbook for primary schools and passed its examination, they denounced this behavior as a wanton violation of the dignity and sovereignty of the Korean nation.

They held that Japan should reflect on and make reparation for its past crimes and abandon its ambition for "dominium" over Tok Islets at once.

The south Korean authorities should take a strong action against Japan's moves for grabbing the islets, they urged, declaring that they would provide a decisive occasion to liquidate the Japanese imperialists' crimes of aggression this year.
