The statement voiced its resolute support for the firm stand of the DPRK to react to provocations with stern punishment and counter a war with a merciless sacred retaliatory war now that the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors made such an extreme provocation as not ruling out a war against it.

Only miserable deaths await the wicked traitors and war maniacs, the statement warned, demanding the warmongers of the puppet military immediately stop all the moves for a war.

The association will join all other fellow countrymen in punishing without the slightest leniency those who insulted and mocked at the dignity and system of the DPRK so as to sweep all of them from the arena of history through a nationwide sacred retaliatory war.

The Central Association of Korean National in Russia in a statement on July 1 demanded Lee Myung Bak apologize to the whole nation for the recent treason and step down at once.

The organization renewed their pledge to smash the moves of the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors to escalate the confrontation with the DPRK and intensify the struggle for achieving national reunification under the banner of "By our nation itself".

Cha Sang Bo, vice-chairman of the General Association of Koreans in China, on June 30 made public a statement titled "The crimes of traitor Lee Myung Bak will not escape the nation's severe judgment."
