Rodong Sinmun Urges Japan to Unconditionally Atone for Its Past Crimes
Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- There will be no bright future ahead of Japan if it refuses to sincerely atone for the past crimes it committed by colonizing Korea and inflicting misfortune and pain upon many Asian people, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in an article.

Giving a detailed account of the fact that the Japanese reactionaries get more desperate in distorting and denying history and Japan is going so shameless in its attitude towards the past, the article goes on:

History itself means truth and living evidence.

Japan is making desperate efforts to destroy living evidence of its past crimes at any cost.

It is aimed to turn the clock of history back to the imperial era when Japan was steeped in aggression and war.

It is evidenced by the hoisting of "flag of rising sun shedding rays", a symbol of the war criminal state, in the heart of Tokyo, the bulwark of Japanese militarism, and at the mast of warship, and the adoption of security legislation which allows the "Self-Defense Forces" to extend the scope of their military operation to any parts of the world.

However, the vaulting ambition of the Japanese reactionaries for reinvasion is just a daydream.

What Japan is obliged to do is unconditional atonement for the crime-woven past and this guarantees the future of Japan.
