Pyongyang, November 17 (KCNA) -- It has been 119 years since the Japanese imperialists produced the Ulsa Five-point Treaty, an illegal document.
However, the Korean people still remember the crimes committed by the Japanese imperialists who deprived Korea of its sovereignty in a brigandish way.
In November 1905, Hirobumi Ito, the chieftain of aggression against Korea, repeatedly met Emperor Kojong and forced him to unconditionally accept the original treaty drafted by Japan.
In order to impose the treaty on Korea, the Japanese imperialists mobilized a large number of armed forces to put pressure on the Korean feudal government. They lured ministers of the feudal government into the then Japanese legation and threatened and blackmailed them to accept the treaty.
Taking as a golden opportunity the ministerial meeting on the issue of the treaty in the Korean royal palace on Nov. 17, the Japanese imperialist troops encircled the palace and threatened the ministers at the point of bayonet, forcing them to accept the treaty.
Then, Japanese imperialists declared that the treaty was concluded. They stole the seal of the foreign minister and stamped the seal on the document to make it "legal."
The treaty was not approved by the supreme representative of the state. At that time the Japanese imperialists could not get the signature of the Emperor Kojong and the Korean state seal on the document because Emperor Kojong, the supreme representative of the then feudal Korean government, strongly opposed the conclusion of the treaty to the death.
The fabrication of the treaty led to the national ruin of Korea. -0-
