Leader Vladimir Putin said that despite the territorial complaints against Japan, Russia does Not want to pull their own flag over the Kuril Islands. "Well, no. Such plans We do Not have ", - said the head of the country in the interview with TV channel " Russia 1 ". He said that the implementation of programs for the development of the Far East including Southern Kuril Islands, will continue. "We will develop infrastructure there. The airport was opened Not so long ago, as We know, " added the Manager. the other day, answering questions from reporters after a straight line, Putin said that he expected from the meeting with the Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe to continue the dialogue, as well as among them the peace Treaty. Russia and Japan never signed a peace Treaty after the Second world war. The main obstacle is the question of the Southern Kuril Islands (Islands Kunashir, Shikotan, Iturup and Habomai ridge), which Tokyo claims, indicating bilateral Treatise on trade and borders of 1855. The position of the capital of Russia lies in the fact that the Islands became part of the Soviet Union as a result of the war and the Russian sovereignty over them cannot be questioned. in 1956 the USSR and Japan signed a joint Declaration in which Moscow has expressed consent after the conclusion of a peace Treaty to take steps to transfer to Japan the Habomai and Shikotan. The fate of Kunashir and Iturup were Not addressed. However, subsequent dialogues are so useless and failed. It is possible that Tokyo's position has affected the US, which frightened that if Japan would agree to transfer only 2 of the Kuril Islands, It will affect the return of Okinawa. The process intensified after the leaders of Russia and Japan in Singapore in November last year. Then Japanese Prime Minister said that the sides agreed to speed up dialogue on the basis of the 1956 Declaration. This is an important concession from Japan, because up until now, its official position was to demand the transfer of all 4 Islands and then a peace Treaty. the Russian authorities have repeatedly stressed that Japan is the most important thing should recognize the results of world war II, as well as among them Russian sovereignty over the Southern Kuril Islands. <span style="color:darkgray
