Finnish Political Figure Supports DPRK's Access to Nuclear Weapons
Pyongyang, March 11 (KCNA) -- Kalevi Wahrman, chairman of the Finnish Communists' League, contributed an article to the Finnish paper Uusi Suomi titled "The reason why the DPRK had access to nuclear weapons" on Feb. 28.

Recalling that the DPRK conducted the 3rd underground nuclear test on Feb. 12, the article went on:

The motive and objective of the DPRK's nuclear test should be explained by the U.S. troops' presence in south Korea, the Korean War in the 1950s and the persistent U.S. hostile policy towards the DPRK, it noted, and went on:

The U.S. hostile acts compelled the DPRK to have access to nuclear deterrent.

The DPRK proposed concluding a peace treaty with the U.S., but the latter has worked hard to stifle the former even by use of nuclear weapons.

The U.S. and its followers are not only posing a military threat to the DPRK but busy conducting a smear campaign against it, the article said, and continued:

The U.S. far-fetchedly described the DPRK's satellite launch as a "threat" to the world peace though it is recognized by most countries of the world, and prodded the UN Security Council into fabricating a "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK.

This state of the DPRK-U.S. stand-off compelled the DPRK to make a switchover from the program for peaceful use of nuclear energy to a military purpose.

The DPRK's option was very fair and logic from the viewpoint of everybody.

The DPRK's dismantlement of its nukes is possible when the U.S. nuclear threat is defused.

The DPRK's access to nuclear weapons is not a threat to others but means defence of the sovereignty of the country and socialism and a guarantee of happy future of the people.
