Projected War Exercises Opposed in S. Korea
Pyongyang, February 17 (KCNA) -- Civic and public organizations in Seoul held a press conference in Seoul on Monday denouncing the U.S. and the south Korean puppet warlike forces for their scheme to stage joint military exercises for aggression on the DPRK.

The organizations said that Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises would further aggravate the tension of the Korean Peninsula.

The projected war gambles, larger in scale than those of last year and aimed to "remove the north's nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction," are evidently ones against the north, they charged.

They strongly demanded a prompt halt to these dangerous drills which will increase the war crisis on the Korean Peninsula.

The authorities should come out for dialogue and cooperation, not confrontation and war, as demanded by the people, they urged.

They declared that they go on an action in demand of stop to the war maneuvers and peace of the peninsula through unconditioned south-north dialogue.
