Vladimir Putin in an interview with Japanese media: "Russia has no territorial problems with Japan"

Before the official visit to Japan, the President of Russia gave an interview to the Japanese television company Nippon TV and the newspaper Yomiuri. Almost immediately we were talking about a “territorial dispute” between Japan and Russia. That is how the question was posed by a Japanese journalist. The president of the Russian Federation answered that Russia has no territorial problems with Japan.

Vladimir Putin quotes Kremlin press service:

Russia has no territorial problems with Japan. It is Japan that believes that it has territorial problems, but we are ready to discuss it.

Vladimir Putin:

You now recalled the 56 agreement of the year, and I recall that, at the initiative of Japan, these negotiations were later terminated. And at the request of my Japanese colleagues in 2000, we returned to discussing the possibility of concluding a peace treaty based on the agreement of 56. But in the 56 agreement of the year, two islands are mentioned, and now you yourself said that the prime minister raises the question of four islands. So, we have already gone beyond the agreement of the 56 year, this is a completely different situation and a different formulation of the question.

According to Vladimir Putin, it is necessary to build an atmosphere of trust, friendship and cooperation between the two states. In addition to trade and economic ties, according to the Russian leader, we can talk about the application of joint efforts in the field of international security.
Vladimir Putin noted that the situation in which there is no peace treaty between the two neighboring states, he considers an anachronism.

The Russian president added that Russia would sign a peace treaty on the basis of its own interests.

Recall that the Russian president will make his visit to Japan on December 15-16.

By the way, Vladimir Putin’s meeting with Japanese journalists began with the fact that they inquired about the health of the Yume dog. This Akita Inu dog in 2012 was presented to Vladimir Putin by the governor of the Japanese prefecture Akita. Vladimir Putin showed the Japanese guests Yume, who was in a great mood ...

And the Japanese will publish it? All Japanese popes in the government believe that there are territorial problems.

[Skeptic Self-Taught]

Hmm, an interesting question ... Theoretically, they should first send the text for approval, before publication ...

[GSH-18]

With a very high degree of probability, our islands will not give up. If the end of the 90s and the beginning of the 2000s were now, the Yapov would have had another option, and they would meet, talk, conclude a couple of contracts for the supply of LNG and oil to Japan, and that’s all. The likelihood of signing a peace treaty in the very near future is low due to the position of the Yap: you give us islands, we will give you a piece of paper stating the current actual state of affairs Ours will not fall for it.
Ours needs much more than just a paper statement of the peace that has existed for so long, and trade with Japan.

[electrooleg]

Yes, these islands seemed to be wanted to equip militarily. It seems that even a process has begun.

[INVESTOR]

According to Vladimir Putin, it is necessary to build an atmosphere of trust, friendship and cooperation between the two states.

The Japs must be unwound for loot, and they can’t see the islands anyway, let them invest in our economy.

From the article it is clear that they see two islands.

Well, of course we give it back ....))))
I like how accurately and briefly Lavrov answered the question ..!
"Crimea is not a problem, but the territory of Russia ..!"
So Putin answered in the same sense ...

Russia has no territorial problems with Japan. This Japan believes that it has territorial problems, but we are ready to discuss it.

As said, that is beautiful ..!

They can't see a damn thing, when I watched this meeting on TV, I whinnied like a horse. Glory to our GDP, made it clear to the Japanese that they should not even think about something. By the fact that he first frightened the Japanese with their own dog, and then, when I looked closely, I realized that our commander-in-chief is a little date and speaks with the Japanese in a rasslabone, and in the language of diplomacy, I think, this means: - "Who are you ? What to talk to you about, bedding p-i-n = d = o-stan? " And the direct statement that China is our best friend now makes it clear to the Japanese that they are not shining.

[max702]

The whole trick is that we and Yapy need a peace treaty BUT! The USA Master absolutely does not need them .. They are in terrible dreams (by analogy with Germany) see our mutually beneficial cooperation .. This is a knife in the heart of all American politics in the Far East, just getting the necessary resources, markets, and much more .. Japan is quite may violate the rule of law with the USA, which is fundamentally not permissible for the latter .. here the dog is buried, and not in some godforsaken islands .. Good relations between Russia and Japan are unacceptable for the USA! This is goodbye to the base, and Japan lending to the United States, and the latter’s economy as a result of cooperation with Russia .. I repeat this is a direct and very significant threat to the United States ..

[nik-karata]

two islands ... four islands .... hrenasdva !!! and horseradish four! although who knows what the darkest one had regarding smokers.

[Samaritan]

And there, Sakhalin is not far off ... we remember NATO will not expand, and bases in Eastern Europe from Iran ...
Blast you on the collar!

Blast you on the collar!

No, not quite right quote. The film sounded like this:
The red flaky stump you all (NATO) on the collar, in a cast-iron design from the Soviet government (in this case, from the Russian Federation) so that the gateway does not get dirty and the head does not dangle

[Shurik70]

And half of Sakhalin ... Or the whole.

[Ustrushan]

The Japanese have no powerful allies except the United States. And the US can tactfully step aside over time. They have their own problems before (in general, you will be waist-deep). China presses and the farther, the stronger. The Japanese economy is in recession and a strong recovery is not expected.
So Japan is more interested in Russia than Russia in Japan.

[Joker787]

"So Japan is more interested in Russia than Russia is in Japan." - I completely agree. However, Japanese factories and enterprises in the Far East would not hurt. In turn, China is likely to be outraged by this alignment. Yeah, I wonder what the "Guarantor" came up with ...

[Ustrushan]

Quote: Ustrushan

So Japan is more interested in Russia than Russia in Japan.

Rating given is total. If we talk in more detail: Russia is interested in Japan as a place for the sale of its energy resources and food. In their technology, money, business projects. As the same counterweight, in the long run, to China. Given all this, GDP can go as much as possible to give up two islands, at least agree on their joint economic development. Intermediate options - joint island management.

[Joker787]

Most likely, the "Japanese gambit" will be played, but not on December 15-16, such a question "cannot be solved right away", it will take more than one year before any documents are signed.

[Vasiliev Yu]

Ustrushan has the most accurate analysis of the situation, the only thing is not the japs ​​who are more interested in us, but we (our government) are interested in them.
And to be honest, I have friends who love Japan, anime (although they have not been children for a long time, but as they say: whatever the peasant would not amuse, if only he would not cry), they go there on holiday trips. So I advised them to buy land, which is now dumped on these two islands, in order to get Japanese citizenship later.
I think in the near future it will be clear whether I was right or not.

[Evgeniy667b]

And what right does he have. to give away the territory. If only a scam? He inherited it so well!

The main thing is that you should not be taken into advisers with such approaches.

[Giants]

Yes, I wonder what the "Guarantor" came up with ... [/ quote]
Absolutely violet what he came up with! There is a Constitution, which he is obliged to observe!

[L10n77]

Well, well, tell us about the observance of the Constitution, when the "darkest" sea with the islands of Norway and islands in the Far East gave China. Just don’t think that it was Gorbachev and Yeltsin or Medvedev who gave it away. The islands to China are purely the "work" of the GDP, and the Barents Sea and the oil and gas deposits too, Medvedev was then as the head of the Pound from the Golden Calf.

[Smoked]

It has long been comprehensively on the topic:

[rotmistr60]

Russia has no territorial problems with Japan.

What else can you say to those who have already "given away" the islands and cursed the president?

[Stas157]

Quote: rotmistr60

What else can you say to those who have already "given away" the islands and cursed the president?

And who gave? In addition to our president, there is no one to whom to give them, with all desire. By the way:

The Japanese government intends to make a promise to Russia that in the event of the return of the four disputed Kuril Islands of Japan, military facilities and US forces will not be located on them. This was reported by Kyodo, citing diplomatic sources.

What would that mean? News from scratch? I don’t think so! Could this come about as with the expansion of NATO to the East?

[L. A. A.]

Well, there is no peace treaty and what is dangerous?

[R2d2Rome]

Or we can change 4 small ones to 1 large one. Let's have fun as all the yapy on four cobblestones fit.

[L. A. A.]

Who are Russia afraid of? Nobody is stronger than us in the world.

[Doctor Evil]

"Russia has no territorial problems with Japan. It is Japan that believes that it has territorial problems, but we are ready to discuss this." Since there are no problems, then there is nothing to discuss.

[izya top]

maybe the Supreme is wrong? But what about Hokaido? Precisely we do not need?

[Barakuda]

And here is the dog - like like. So no - Akita Inu

[Joker787]

And not close. This is a unique, authentic breed.

Quote from rudolf

presented to the Norwegians, as much as 90 thousand square meters. km Barents! Poor norgs are still racking their brains with such a sea of ​​oil

Everything is in the interests of Gazprom a. No mining is allowed in the disputed territories. Now it seems possible, but Gazprom has no technology, they invite the Norwegians. Only gas will run out when that, and thousands of square meters. km will remain with Norway. This is the strategic thinking of our leaders! It looks like it will be the same with the Kuriles.

[Koshak]

Quote from rudolf

Putin already openly says: I can’t four islands, but take two! Two islands on a piece of toilet paper! But they all break down, they don’t understand that taking now two, nothing prevents then demanding the rest! Maybe there Medvedev will again be president, but he is even kinder. How many donated to the Norwegians, as much as 90 thousand square meters. km Barents! Poor norgs still rack their brains what to do with such a sea of ​​oil and fish!
Still, Lukashenko was right. Kremlin dwarfs.

And where did you come from so Svidomo? I already divided everything, I gave two islands.

[Uralets]

You can’t even give two islands. The Soviet Union could afford it, having superiority in all areas, but the Russian Federation cannot. I have a hunch that Putin will give them back, since he so often declares the 1956 Declaration ...

If the Japanese did not go on about the Americans, then the Kuril problem would be solved under the USSR by transferring two islands, as this was stipulated in the 56 year agreement. What does the Wishlist of the USSR or Putin have to do with it?

Quote: Bering Strait

The fact of negotiations on the Kuril Islands speaks of the rotten position of the Kremlin, which is ready to merge the territorial integrity of Russia and is only bargaining!

And where is the rotten position? The only position is that the conversation can be resumed exclusively within the framework of the 1956 agreement.

Quote: Uralets

In 56 g, Stalin, and in a terrible dream, could not dream of American bases in the Kuril Islands, now this is real.

Stalin died on March 1, 1953. And the status of the islands can be defined as a demilitarized zone.

[Bering Strait]

The fact of negotiations on the Kuril Islands speaks of the rotten position of the Kremlin, which is ready to merge the territorial integrity of Russia and is only bargaining!

[fif21]

Japan also has no problems with the islands. They have territorial claims against Russia. Japan supported anti-Russian sanctions. Japan has strained relations with our partner China. In 56 g, Stalin, and in a terrible dream, could not dream of American bases in the Kuril Islands, now this is real. And there are no problems with the peace treaty either. Do we have a peace treaty with Australia? No, and so what.

[Fedalex]

"No good" for your history ... Stalin died on 05.03.1953/XNUMX/XNUMX.

Received 56 year declaration! This is Khrushchev, Crimea - Ukraine, Kuril Islands - Japan And Putin is there too? Can corn still be cultivated in the north?

[Karabin]

And at the request of my Japanese colleagues in 2000, we returned to discussing the possibility of concluding a peace treaty on the basis of the agreement of the 56th year.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, be clearer, otherwise your ardent supporters are hung up on VO and don't know what to post. Either "we do not trade in islands," or "the president knows better, he made a smart move with the islands and #we needyavsyahokaida"

By the way, the meeting between Vladimir Putin and Japanese journalists began with the fact that they dealt with the health of the Yume dog.

The health of the dogs of our elite punks is a very important state bond.

[Fedalex]

No, why not offer the Japs an option like Svalbard ?! That is, we conduct joint economic activities on the islands, but under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation! And forget about the adjacent water area!

[absaz]

We can’t have them in any way. Russia took its own time, which corresponds to the geographic location and nothing more. Japan wants to dispute, these are its problems. You cannot forbid dreaming.

[fa2998]

Something I don’t like at all this planned visit of the president! He goes to a country with no peace treaty, which has territorial requirements for Russia, and the president himself endlessly recalls the 1956 agreement. If we lived for 70 years, we would still century lived.
With our "democracy" it will be as ten people of the "elite" decide, and the rest will be welcomed. There are some concerns for this visit. Well, okay, let's see!

[Vasiliev Yu]

As children. They believe everything that they are promised. What, everyone has already forgotten, for example, about raising the retirement age (at first, people will not understand, if you offer this, then only through a referendum and blah blah blah ...). And where is the referendum, where are all those who disagree?
As always, people will be put before the facts by the cancer, no one cares what the people think. This is where you can console yourself.

They are looking for how to teach people the betrayal of the interests of the Russian Federation. Khrushchev initiatives pulled out Something Penkovsky divorced in Russia a bit too much.

Of course, there are no territorial problems! Everything that is ours will remain so!
