Asahi.Com on 'Relations With Russia'
Asahi.Com contends in a February 8, 2005 opinion piece that, "2005 offers ideal chance to resolve outstanding issues" between Russia and Japan. Chief among those issues is Japan's "continuing drive for the return of the four islands [of the Kurile Island archipelago], which Tokyo claims are unlawfully occupied by Russia," Asahi said, adding:
Moscow, on the other hand, shows no sign of agreeing to return all the four islands , even though it repeatedly has expressed its intention to settle the territorial issue by handing over jurisdiction of Habomai and Shikotan on the basis of the 1956 Japan-Soviet Joint Declaration.Read Asahi's opinion piece headlined "Relations with Russia."
