Russian Expert Doubts about "Results of Investigation"
Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- Konstantin Asmolov, senior researcher at the Center for Korean Studies of the Far Eastern Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, expressed strong doubts about the south Korean authorities' assertion concerning the case of the warship sinking, when interviewed by a reporter of Moskovskii Komsomolets, according to NTV of Russia on May 31.

He said:

The "conclusion" made by the south Korean side is arousing very strong distrust among people in south Korea and other parts of the world.

Both Russia and China do not believe this "conclusion" at all.

There are a lot of doubts about the "conclusion" as "evidence" and facts do not match the circumstances fabricated by the south Korean side.

For example, why did the case claim the lives of seamen only, without taking the life of a single officer?

Why wasn't there anyone who had his eardrum split or fractured among the victims? This is the general phenomenon which can be observed when a warship is hit by a torpedo.

What is marked on the propelling body of the torpedo was written with a felt-tip pen in the writing style common in the south, not in the "north Korean writing style." Why?
