The official has noticed that Japan will continue the dialogue on the conclusion of a peace Treaty and resolving the territorial issue with Russia. Sergei Ivanov yesterday in the process of visiting the island of Shikotan said that the territorial problem of Japan, not Russia, and no talks about any transfer of the Kuril Islands of the country are not. The dialogue between Russia and Japan for many years overshadows the lack of a peace Treaty. Japan claims the Islands of Kunashir, Shikotan, Iturup and Habomai, indicating bilateral treatise on trade and borders of 1855. The return of the Islands Tokyo made it a condition of signing a peace Treaty with Russia, which at the end of the Second world war and was not signed. in 1956 the USSR and Japan signed the mutual Declaration in which Moscow has agreed to take steps to transfer Habomai and Shikotan after the conclusion of peace, the fate of Kunashir and Iturup are not affected.
