AA Nullification Is Bold Decision to Terminate State of War on Korean Peninsula: KCNA Report (2)
Pyongyang, March 26 (KCNA) -- The Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) released a report on March 24, clarifying the justice of the decision for nullifying the Korean Armistice Agreement (AA).

The second part of the three-part report said as follows:

2

The decision to nullify AA was a just option of the army and people of the DPRK to put an end to the U.S. hostile acts against the DPRK with all-out action.

The U.S. policy towards the DPRK is to bring down its system to eliminate socialist Korea from the earth and AA is a main lever for implementing the policy.

The U.S. has abused AA for carrying out its anti-DPRK strategy to maintain constant confrontation and the state of war on the Korean Peninsula and stifle the DPRK by force of arms.

Maybe, the world does not know every detail of what great pain and extreme uneasiness the Korean people have suffered from the state of war imposed by the U.S. for more than half a century.

The ceasefire in the Korean Peninsula was an actual war fought without a declaration of war.

The U.S. has hamstrung every effort of the DPRK to build socialism and improve the people's living standard for more than half a century.

It has ceaselessly aggravated the situation in the peninsula to block the advance of the DPRK standing on the forefront of the struggle for independence against imperialism.

This situation compelled the DPRK to divert large human and material resources to bolstering up the armed forces though they should have been directed to the economic development and improvement of people's living standard. It also compelled the Korean people, the best in the world, to tighten their belts. The amount of human and material damage done to the DPRK till 2005 totaled at least 64,959 854 million U.S. dollars.

Uncountable are the mental oppression, political, moral and cultural damages done to the Korean people by the U.S. through its persistent moves for a war and threat of aggression at every stage of socialist construction.

The state of ceasefire has been a legal reason for such protracted instability on the Korean Peninsula and its ensuing consequences.

Frequent military skirmishes in Panmunjom and in waters of the West Sea including Yonphyong Island and other events which greatly shocked the world were not accidental ones but those entailed by the unreasonable ceasefire mechanism.

The U.S. egged south Korea on to preserve the illegal "northern limit line" by abusing the limitation of AA. Consequently, not a day passed in peace on the five islands on the West Sea of Korea and extreme tension prevailed there.

These areas are an epitome clearly showing the danger of AA and the actual possibility of the outbreak of another Korean War.

It has become as clear as a pikestaff that AA cannot prevent a new war on the Korean Peninsula.

The sovereignty of Korea and its nation should not be left to others to defend it.

If the DPRK allows itself to be bound to AA as before with the U.S. hostile acts against the DPRK becoming intolerable in all aspects, the Korean people should suffer again from all the obstacles, misfortunes and tragedy just as they did for over half a century.

No big power has so far been pleased to see the Koreans get united as one and become prosperous.

These days the U.S. and its allies have frantically stepped up their moves for sanctions and pressure and a war against the DPRK over its satellite launch and underground nuclear test. These have been pursuant to the hegemonic policy of those forces displeased with the efforts of the DPRK to build a prosperous reunified power and uneasy about their failure to carry out their strategy for world domination.

It is the conclusion drawn by the DPRK from the threat of war to which it has been exposed for the last several decades that it is hardly possible to build a thriving nation and achieve stable and happy life and national prosperity as long as AA is left intact.

The Korean people's grudge against the U.S. is mounting high and the patience and self-restraint of the DPRK have gone beyond their limit.

That was why the DPRK made an important decision to uproot the root cause of infringing upon national sovereignty, dignity, peace and prosperity and expressed its will to take a decisive military counteraction including the exercise of the right to mount a preemptive precision nuclear attack.

Now that the south Korean warmongers in collusion with the U.S. frantically step up the moves for a nuclear war against the north in violation of AA, the DPRK declared nullification of all the nonaggression agreements reached between the north and the south such as non use of armed forces against the other side, prevention of accidental military conflicts, peaceful settlement of disputes and the issue of nonaggression boundary line. These are the logical steps taken in line with the nullification of AA.

The DPRK is fully ready to take potential and toughest counteractions which can force the anti-DPRK forces to experience the most miserable time in their destiny till their surrender.
