Sakhalin edinorosy challenged the Japanese law on the sovereignty of the Kuriles.

Sakhalin branch of the party "United Russia" sent a protest at Japan's Consulate General in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk in connection with the law on the recognition of Japanese sovereignty over the side a few Southern Kuril Islands, which are now owned by Russia. This was announced on Wednesday by Interfax. "
Edinorosy, in particular, stressed that the decision of the Parliament of Japan "is unprecedented and beyond the scope of the international practice of any contentious issues." The "United Russia" is also reminded that this controversial decision was taken by Japanese parliamentarians on the eve of the Day of Russia.
"In Russia, every schoolboy knows that the Kuril Islands - it is Russian land. Southern Kuriles went to our country on the basis of the Second World War. These islands blood policies of Soviet soldiers and sailors. Therefore, another attempt to rewrite history and to derail the improving good neighborly relations between our countries -- is nothing more than a political farce and an attempt in the world economic crisis to divert the attention of ordinary Japanese people from the problems faced by the national economy of Japan, "- said the regional otedeleniya" United Russia ".
Remember, Bill, confirming the Japanese sovereignty over the South Kuril Islands, was adopted by the Lower House of Parliament, Japan, June 11. In accordance with the island of Iturup, Shikotan, Kunashir, and the South Kuril ridge (Habomai group of islands) declared an integral part of Japan. The Act also provides for prompt return of the islands belonging to Russia, to Japan. Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for his part, described as "very unfortunate" the bill, adopted by the Japanese parliamentarians.
