Ex-diplomat of Japan: Russia can give two islands, and two themselves will be ours

In Japan, a heated discussion continues on the so-called "Northern Territories". Recall that the Japanese continue to call the Russian Kuril Islands.

Discussion of the territorial issue, which as such is exclusively for Japan itself, is conducted not only by politicians, but also in the writing world. So, the writer Masaru Sato, well-known in Japan, decided to present his point of view. Earlier, Mr. Sato (born in 1960) graduated from one of the local universities in the Theology course, after which, by fate, he ended up in the analytical department of the Japanese Foreign Ministry. One of the main directions in his work was connected with Russia. Sato worked in the Japanese embassy in the Russian capital and often lectured students of the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University. About what views after these lectures Russian students could permeate is a separate question.

Now Sato does not work in the structures of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he considers it his duty to comment on the latest events around the “Northern Territories issue”.

His statements published edition "Sankei".

Sato reports that there are five logistic options for dealing with the islands: from 4: 0 in favor of Tokyo (in terms of the number of islands in the South Kuriles) to what is today - 0: 4, when the islands remain in Russia.

The former employee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan himself believes that Moscow and Tokyo “could have stayed on 2: 2”, when “Shikotan and Habomai are behind Japan,” and “Iturup and Kunashir are behind Russia.” In doing so, Masaru Sato develops his thought in the following direction: after obtaining Tokyo’s sovereignty over the two islands, it is possible to proceed with the conclusion of a cultural and economic agreement with Moscow on the other two islands.

Sato:

The Japanese will begin to freely visit Kunashir and Iturup, and over time, the Japaneseization of these islands will itself lead to the fact that they, too, will become Japanese. It is now important that Russia recognize our sovereignty over Shikotan and Habomai.

The Japanese writer and ex-analyst at the Foreign Ministry continues:

Japan, after consulting with the United States, could make a promise to Putin that the American bases on the islands would not appear.

Further, Sato reports that the interaction of Russia and Japan "will help restrain China." Who will help?

Will give comrade, give. Listen to Peskov, they are NEGOTIATING, i.e. discuss the terms of the transfer. Peskov says that "Japan is a very important partner, of course we must unleash the full potential of our relations ... We need to attract Japanese investments." Those. he says plainly that the islands will be SOLD. The sequence of events following Putin's victory is downright frightening. I, like many, hoped for a left turn and on the road to a socialist state ... And what in fact? I think it's not worth listing the newest "ACHIEVEMENTS".

in the long run, I think Russia will give these islands. So that they don’t speak at a certain stage, China will become an adversary of Russia and then Japan will be the perfect ally and therefore can transfer all 4 islands, but sharing resources and possibly finding bases. There will already be the role of the United States in this region at this moment. But to me in the next war, as in the previous global, Russia and the United States will be on the same side.
Better Russia is an ally of one civilization and with a decreasing population than a completely different civilization with a growing population and economy. Sooner or later, the sides will come to this at the time of ICS.

Do not be naive or do not whip up cheap show-offs with empty talk - no one will give anything back, neither now, nor in 10-20 years. And there and shake the caldera of the Yellow Stone will begin and St. Andryusha will wake up.

PS Russia 80 years earlier than Japan began the development of the Kuril Islands, including Hokaido and Sakhalin, and after 30 years it formalized the rights to these territories in accordance with international standards.

[Lyuba1965_01]

1. The Kuril Islands belonged to the Russian Empire under Catherine 2, and were recognized as such by the whole world.
2. They were given to Japan by Alexander the Second only for recognition by Japan of the Japanese part of Sakhalin as Russian territory and an agreement of peaceful intentions, although Sakhalin was actually actually Russian territory, and only the Japanese sometimes arose about this.
3. Russia, having lost in the Russo-Japanese War under the Portsmouth Peace Treaty, gave the southern part of Sakhalin to Japan. BUT !!! In 1925, after negotiations in Beijing, Japan and the USSR established diplomatic relations by signing the Beijing Treaty. The USSR was forced to admit the situation that arose in 1905 as a result of the Russo-Japanese War, but refused to acknowledge "political responsibility" for the Portsmouth Treaty.
4. Russia entered into an alliance with the United States in 1943 only to regain the southern part of Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, which belonged to it before the Russo-Japanese war. And the States had nothing against this, because they paid the USSR for its fulfillment of allied obligations.

San Francisco Peace Treaty (1951). Chapter II Territory.
c) Japan waives all rights, rights and claims to the Kuril Islands and to that part of Sakhalin Island and its adjacent islands, over which Japan acquired sovereignty under the Portsmouth Treaty of September 5 1905

Interestingly, according to the official position of Japan, Iturup, Shikotan, Kunashir and Habomai were not part of the Kuril Islands (Tishima Islands), and Japan did not refuse them. Representatives of the USSR proposed amending the treaty to recognize the sovereignty of the USSR over South Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, but this and a number of proposals were not taken into account, so the USSR, Poland and Czechoslovakia did not sign the agreement.
In 1956, the USSR and Japan adopted the Moscow Declaration, which ended the state of war and restored diplomatic relations between the two countries, and also recorded the consent of the USSR to transfer the islands of Habomai and Shikotan to Japan, but only after the conclusion of a peace treaty. However, later the Japanese side refused to sign the peace treaty under pressure from the United States, which threatened that if Japan withdraws claims on the Kunashir and Iturup islands, the Ryukyu archipelago with Okinawa island, which under Article 3 of the San Francisco Peace Treaty will not be returned to Japan Then it was under the control of the United States.
So, until the Kuril Islands are returned to Japan, it has no right to refuse the Americans a military base in Okinawa (although, in any case, the Americans will not leave there under any pretext).
In 1960, Japan signed the US-Japan Cooperation and Security Treaty with the United States, thereby extending the "Security Pact" signed in 1951, which was the legal basis for the presence of American troops on Japanese territory.
At the same time, the USSR stated that since this agreement was directed against the USSR and the PRC, the Soviet government refused to consider the transfer of the islands of Japan, as this would lead to the expansion of the territory used by American troops.

In 1905, Russia just gave up Port Arthur? Did the Japanese violate any agreements? And then, even on the condition that the United States waved its tail, the USSR acquired half of Sakhalin and the Kuril ridge with sea territories. I think the Americans would be glad to remain in such "fools", but it did not work out.
And the time will come - the USA will still "answer for Alaska", paraphrasing the character of "Brother-2"

No. Japan signed an act of surrender. There is no state of war due to the fact that Japan surrendered.

Territorial claims in Japan are warmed up by the occupying forces, and this is not the USSR troops.

I doubt it very much. The best guarantee of our sovereignty is our army and a tough position (without any wagging backwards) of senior management. In addition, a good relationship with Russia is much more important for the Japs than for us a good relationship with them ..... at least for the common population, although at the top of our ranks some people may be interested in the opposite for personal interests - such often happened. So it’s time for Russia to set conditions for establishing relations between countries, and not vice versa.

Since the state of war and the absence of any claims (including other territorial ones) between our state and Japan were established by this Declaration itself, Russia may not rush to sign the so-called. peace treaty (it is needed only by Japan to obtain the notorious islands).

With the non-expansion of NATO to the east, it was ours (Gorby and the EBN) who screwed up not childishly - they were satisfied with the oral assurances of their "partners."

Now we are talking about signing an agreement, which in case of violation by one party automatically releases the other party from its obligations.

"Partners" and put on the documented contracts with the device.

Treaties are valid if they are supported by the military potential of the parties.

For example, the United States first announced the termination of the INF Treaty on-line, and now it has turned on the reverse speed - it has calculated how many Russian ICBMs and SLBMs will be additionally redirected to North America in case of deployment of Russian RSDs in Europe and Asia.

By the way, the Russian RSD in the Primorsky Territory will be an excellent incentive for Japan to conclude a peace treaty with us and begin to eliminate the goals (American bases) for the RSD on its territory.

1956 declaration
Instead of signing the peace treaty, the USSR and Japan adopted the Moscow Declaration on October 19, 1956. She stopped the state of war and restored diplomatic relations between the two countries, and also fixed the intention of the Soviet Union to transfer Japan to the smallest of the four islands - Shikotan and the Habomai ridge. The transfer of the islands was to occur after the signing of the peace treaty.
That is intentions You can arrange such conditions ...

If someone has territorial claims against someone, then he urgently needs to grab a map of the mineral resources of the disputed territory, and then everything becomes clear. Rare metal Rhenium - Iturup 3rd place in the world in reserves. Well, accordingly, it is also on the neighboring islands. In conditions when the Russian authorities are feverishly looking for new sources of income, not even shying away from excise taxes on sausages and hunting for Red Book animals, then apparently we should expect a bargain with the Japanese.

[GUSAR]

The question here is not that "we can negotiate for another 500 years and will not agree so." The question is why our rulers touch on this topic at all. Do you need a peace treaty with Japan? Do you feel bad about his absence? I think the answer is obvious. Well, let them just say NO once !!! And that's all. Friendship-trade, visa-schmiz, if you want, let's. If you don’t want to, we will live without you dear Japanese. And at home there declare what you want, draw any cards you like, we do not care. But when you agree to discuss some issue, then in the end you may be and agree with the arguments of the opposite side. The Japanese feel it, they are not fools ...

And I tell him: “You give your room in Vladik to your rich neighbor and let him develop you in any way he wants: even if he does renovations in other rooms, even if he takes you to the theater on Chippolino, and somehow we will develop ourselves without trading in the Motherland.” !"

This is how the system works with non-brothers: we will “develop” you, we will give you money, we will take you to Europe, you just relieve yourself at the graves of your fathers.

I served on these islands for two years. I’ll tell you for sure. No one will ever return the islands to Japan.

What are you doing here in sports! Vovka said correctly: the 1956 agreement is taken as a basis. And in the agreement it is written in green but blue that Japan is a neutral state.

The "Battle of the Islands" has a military-strategic background. At the moment, the Sea of ​​Okhotsk is a closed water area, protected on all sides and is a natural launching pad for SSBNs. In this situation, there is no talk of “transferring” the islands, at least during the life of the GDP. The liberals, of course, have a desire to purchase a certain amount of candy wrappers for a strategic bastion. The task is to prevent it.

[amn577]

Why is everyone talking about 2 islands? Open the atlas. We don't have Habomai. There is the Lesser Kuril Ridge, which includes the islands: Shikotan, Polonsky, Zeleny, Yuri, Anuchino, Tanfilyeva and a host of smaller islands. Habomai is the Japanese name for the Small Ridge. If these are our islands, then call them by our names.

Considering that the topic of transferring the islands was somehow very cheerfully picked up by state channels, and Peskov mumbled something about the need for consultations and like it’s not comme il faut that there is no peace treaty. Then we can say with complete confidence that the islands have already been given away. As the author correctly noted, there are simply auctions.
P.S. And if you remember the recent story about the settlement of borders with China, and the lease (and in fact sale) of the Trans-Baikal taiga for 49 years. In fact, everything has already been decided!

[ludrosia]

Now it is important that Russia recognizes our sovereignty over Shikotan and Habomai. Japan, after consultations with the United States, could make a promise to Putin that there will be no American bases on the islands.

Not an inch of Russian Orthodox Christian land to anyone!!!! Not a millimeter! And those who do this, kill them. They are traitors and enemies of Russia, Russian Orthodox Christians, Russian Orthodox Christians, the people of Russia, Russian Orthodox Christians.
Russia can only agree with the Japanese that Japan can become part of Russia and promise them that there will be no US military bases in Japan, but that there will be Russian troops. If I were the President of Russia, Russian Orthodox Christian, I would simply say on video and live to the Japs right in the eyes:
“We can only agree on peace, and if you don’t like it, we can agree that Japan can become part of the Russian Orthodox Christian Russia and promise in that case that in Japan then there will be no American military bases, but there will be Russian troops, army of Russia Russian Orthodox Christian - if Japan becomes part of Russia Russian Orthodox Christian I'm telling you this Japanese - as the president of Russia Russian Orthodox Christian - because you don't understand what Russia can offer you Russian Orthodox Christian - and you're procrastinating on this question -annoying Russia with the Russian Orthodox Christian. I told you this, as the president, so that it would reach you and you would stop procrastinating on this issue and agree on peace and document it on video and in documents and film it, or become part of Russian Russia Orthodox Christian. There is no other option! The Japanese, have you gotten it?”

[ludrosia]

And I, as the President of Russia, the Russian Orthodox Christian, would always remind in this case about the surrender of Japan and poke them with this document. And he proposed to make peace - to document it and film it, or to become part of the Russian Orthodox Christian Russia, with the promise in this case of the absence of American military bases in Japan! Always, as soon as these idiots begin to have a darkening of mind and they begin to talk such nonsense.
