The Russian Foreign Ministry demanded that Tokyo explain the words of the minister about the Kuril Islands
Recently we Reported, how delicately various formulations and statements, recently, the leadership of Japan began to relate in the light of negotiations on concluding a peace treaty with Russia. However, some senior Japanese officials do not adhere to ethical standards and often try to harm official Tokyo based on their mercantile interests.
One such official is Mitsuhiro Miyakoshi, Minister for Okinawa and the Northern Territory. For him, the conclusion of peace between Japan and Russia is the end of the prosperous existence and parasitism of the whole ministry that he heads. He simply will be left without work, since Okinawa is mentioned in the name of the department for solidity, to periodically explain to citizens why this useless department generally exists with their money.
So, the speech of this official was discussed on February 22, 2019 at a weekly briefing by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, when a journalist asked her a question. Does Russia's readiness to sign a peace treaty on the basis of the 1956 declaration mean that the transfer of two islands to Japan will be possible?
- answered Zakharova, the text of which is published on the official website of the Russian Foreign Ministry (video watch from 1:26:00).
In fact, Zakharova called on the Japanese authorities to comment on the statement of their own Minister for Okinawa and Northern Territory Mitsuhiro Miyakoshi. It should be recalled that on February 7, 2019 in the country of the “rising sun” at its congress gathered local nationalists, grant-eaters, "imperials" and other pro-American activists. On this day, they arrange the annual "cry of the Japanese people in the northern territories" (as they call the Russian South Kuril Islands).

Let me answer directly - it seems to me that there is no need to ask provocative questions, which are not behind the desire to get new information or to clarify the data, but the desire to start some new information wave. So much has been said on this subject that additions are simply not required. We step by step explain everything that we discuss with our Japanese colleagues. You are well informed about the Russian approach to this issue. Additional attempts to warm the soil despite the fact that, for example, nothing has happened over the past few days, are unclear. Although I saw a couple of statements by Japanese officials. For example, Minister of Okinawa and Northern Territory Affairs M. Miyakoshi believes that there is no need to amend the wording of the “original territories” of Japan and the “illegal occupation” by Russia used by the Japanese side in some official documents regarding these islands. It seems to me that it is the Japanese side that gives the news occasion. I think that it would be nice for them to comment on how such statements fit into the plan of Tokyo's plan for moving towards an early settlement of this issue. The Russian side did not give any informational reasons to clarify its position.
