Only 5 percent of Japanese agree to “receive” 2 islands from Russia
105
In Japan, a survey was conducted in which local residents were asked to express their opinion on the possible signing of a peace treaty with Russia. The survey, as reported by the media of the Land of the Rising Sun, was conducted by telephone using random sampling. In total, the survey organizers learned the opinion of thousands of Japanese 2,2.
It turned out that the signing of a peace treaty with Russia in the transfer of two islands (Shikotan and Habomai) under the jurisdiction of Tokyo is supported by only 5% of the respondents. Significantly more (33%) spoke in favor of the “necessity of the requirement” of the 4 of the Southern Kuriles, which in Japan continue to be called the Northern Territories.
46% of respondents said they are ready to support the signing of a peace treaty under the following conditions: Russia transfers two islands to Japan first and two more islands (Iturup and Kunashir) after some time.
21% of respondents said that they are categorically against agreements with Russia to continue negotiations, the outcome of which could be a peace treaty. About 67% of Japanese respondents noted that such agreements reached between Shinzo Abe and Vladimir Putin support.
It is noteworthy that the option “Signing a peace treaty without preliminary conditions” was not presented in the survey. It should be recalled that the official position of Tokyo at the moment is as follows: the transfer from Russia of the four islands of the South Kuriles in exchange for a signature on a piece of paper under the heading "Peace Treaty" and a promise not to deploy American military bases in the Kurils. Such an “exchange” looks, to put it mildly, unequal.
