The Northern Territories

The Northern Territories are Kunashiri(国後,Кунашир), Etorofu(択捉,Итуруп), Shikotan (色丹,Шикотан) and the Habomai rocks (歯舞,Хабомай). This islands are known in Japan as the Northern Territories and in Russia as the Southern Kurils. Russia has occupied the islands since the end of World War II.

On 16th morning, a Russian patrol killed Japanese fisherman as it seized a Japanese crab fishing boat in in territorial waters of the Northern Territories. I protest this event.

But I didn't know the agreement of fishery. As this agreement, Japanese fishing boat must not to fish crab in there. Even if any kind of reason, we must observe the agreement and obey the stoppage order. But, is this admited to kill parson? It never admit. Precisely, territorial waters of the Northern Territories is Japanese territories! But so many Japanese people don't interest to it. Therefore, No people complain about it and Russia continue to occupy. To Reconquist this territories, it need more people's interest about it.

Refer to this.
