[imText1]Regarding North Korea\u2019s demolition show at the Yongbyon nuclear reactor on June 27, Hwang Jang Yop, President of the Committee for the Democratization of North Korea, said that Kim Jong Il used the already useless Yongbyon nuclear complex in his negotiations with the U.S. <\/p>\n
Chairman Hwang said \u201cThe Yongbyon nuclear complex is an obsolete piece of junk,\u201d in radio program \u201cHwang Jang Yop\u2019s lectures,\u201d aired by Free North Korea Radio on June 30.<\/p>\n
Previously, right after the February 13 Agreement was signed at the Six Party Talks last year, Hwang said, \u201cNorth Korea refers to the Yongbyon nuclear complex only when it talks about freezing nuclear facilities.\u201d He said, \u201cThe Yongbyon nuclear reactor was used to produce plutonium for nuclear weapons. Indeed, it has already produced enough [nuclear weapons].\u201d <\/p>\n
He said, \u201cIn 1996, I heard the secretary in charge of the munitions industry saying, \u2018We do not need plutonium any more. We can now produce nuclear weapons with Uranium-235.\u2019 North Korea must have subsequently produced nuclear weapons using its uranium enrichment program.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hwang said, \u201cThe North Korea nuclear problem gives the impression of having been resolved at the Six Party Talks. However, North Korea still refuses to admit that it cooperated with Pakistan to develop nuclear weapons using enriched uranium.\u201d He stressed that North Korea must declare and destroy its HEU programs in accordance with the February 13 Agreement. <\/p>\n
Hwang also said, \u201cKim Jong Il is a selfish coward. He would never use nuclear weapons because he knows that he would lose his life if he does.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that North Korea produces nuclear weapons and increases the number of prisons should not concern us. What\u2019s needed is to educate defectors about democracy so that they can help bring about change in the despotic regime of Kim Jong Il,\u201d Hwang said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a saying that if you tell a lie a hundred times, it becomes the truth. It is important to have our eyes wide open the whole time so that we can see through North Korea\u2019s deceitful propaganda,\u201d President Hwang said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
