KCNA Commentary: Tok Islets Are Part of Inviolable Territory of Korea

Pyongyang, April 4 (KCNA) -- Japan is becoming undisguised in its moves to seize Tok Islets.
On March 30 the Japanese authorities instructed officials to make sure that new textbooks for middle schools for 2011 described Tok Islets as part of Japan's territory and the kinds of those books are increased.
Explicitly speaking, this is a wonton violation of the sovereignty of Korea and an act of aggression.
Tok Islets are part of the inviolable territory of Korea.
Korea was the first to discover the islets and put them under its jurisdiction. Korea was also the first to reconfirm the dominium over the islets as required by a modern law and declare it internally and externally.
Japan's moves to seize Tok Islets were not prompted by its ignorance of international law or by a wrong understanding of historical data. These are designed to realize its wild ambition for aggression.
By putting those islets under its control Japan seeks to turn them into an outpost and military bridgehead from which to launch reinvasion of Korea and other Asian countries and to monopolize economic concessions including marine and underwater resources rich in the waters around the islets.
To this end, it is trying to implant the militarist idea into the Japanese people and youngsters through the education in the distorted history and thus hurl them as a shock brigade and cannon fodder for a seizure of islets and a war. -0-
